There are a lot of ways your love of golf can leak into your life away from the course. I recently had the opportunity to learn more about investing in the game of golf and it wasn’t the kind of investment I’d ever thought would come around.

Sure, you could argue that your purchase of a new driver or set of irons is an investment in your golf game. But what if you could get in on the ground floor with a new company looking to make golf more accessible to people around the country. Would you take that opportunity?

GolfSuites is a new venture that has its sights set on giving golfers of all abilities and level of interest the chance to play and have fun with their friends without the time commitment of a round of golf. The company has planned facilities throughout the midwest - similar to Top Golf facilities - that bring together golf, food, and booze in a relaxed environment.

The starting investment into the company is $500, but current investors have seen dividend payments for the last eight months. Company representatives believe demand for golf entertainment centers has been unmet, and they’re hoping to capitalize on that.

We’ll have more information on GolfSuites and their investment opportunities - including an interview with Chairman and CEO Gerald Ellenburg - in our next issue.
