EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Golf Company (also referred to as “the Company”) will be a Family Entertainment Center (also referred to as “family fun center”) that offers a multitude of indoor activities to patrons who are looking for fun activities to do. While the main focus will be the driving range, the facility will offer other activities including batting cages, golf lessons, a restaurant that serves homemade BBQ, flat screen TVs for watching sports, and various merchandise available in a retail pro shop. Golf Company is entering the market at the right time. According to market research firm IBISWorld, the Golf Driving Ranges & Family Fun Centers industry has seen an average annual growth rate of 0.2% over the last five years, positioning industry revenue to be around $9 billion in 2014. The Golf Driving Ranges & Family Fun Centers industry is projected to see an average annual growth rate of 2.7% over the next five years, placing industry revenue at $10.0 billion in 2018; this rate includes a 2.9% increase this year. These trends position the Company in extremely favorable market conditions. Golf Company anticipates a very diverse customer base and will accommodate diverse needs by providing a wide range of services. The Company will employee a three prong marketing approach which is directed towards younger clients, corporate clients and families. The site will be located next to a planned 8,000 –acre mixed use development that includes retail, offices, hotels and a projected 20,000 residential units and will be the only fun center of its kind. Golf Company faces minimal competition from other family fun centers. The nearest services to Golf Company are Charleston National Country Club, Patriots Point and Dunes West Golf and River Club. While these venues are established, they are still quite far in distance from the Golf Company nor do they offer the scope of services that Golf Company does. Golf Company will have a significant advantage over these other establishments in the market due to its affordability, the variety of amenities, and the indoor nature of its activities that will allow for a strong operation regardless of seasons or weather. Membership pricing for Golf Company’s services ranges from $200 to $1,295 per year. Corporate sponsorships will also add to the Company’s overall profitability. Nonmembers may use the driving range for $3 / hour per non-peak times and $7 / hour during peak. Golf Company charges a comparable price for its batting cages. This excludes the pricing of club rentals and golf balls. The Company’s restaurant is also expected to drive a significant income with an average food and beverage cover in excess of $20. Finally, the Company will also have a vibrant kids programs and pro lesson division. The price per lesson is set at $150 / hour.

FUN SERVICES

Golf Company will be a unique family fun center that will have indoor driving ranges and batting cages as well as lessons, a full service bar and restaurant and pro shop, providing a quality family experience rather than just a round of golf. By focusing mainly on indoor activities, the Company will be able to develop a customer base that will frequent the establishment any time of the year, as opposed to outdoor family fun centers that have limited activities during the colder seasons. Golf Company will tentatively establish its facility in Charleston, NC, approximately 400 miles away from its closest competitor location. Golf Company’s will launch with the following services:

Heated and Cooled stalls to create and enjoyable environment in any weather condition

TV and Wi-Fi connections for every driving stall

On site restaurant and sports bar

A full service liquor and beer bar with wait staff for the golfers and their families

Pro shop and club repair

Batting Cages

Family-oriented environment

Top of the line instructors available for individual and team lessons focusing on driving techniques

The driving range will be approximately 250 yards long and 50 yards wide. This will allow for approximately 25 players on each tier of the facility. The driving range will be lined by a ball catching net that will be 100 feet high along the entire length of the driving range. There will be distance markers to identify 50, 100, 150, and 200 yard distances.

The main facility will be a 5,000 sq foot building that will house the restaurant, bar, pro shop, rest rooms, locker room, conference room, and game room. The front of the building will face Clements Ferry rd and the customer parking lot, while the back of the building will hold the driving range stalls. This will allow the customer easy access to the main facility while still being able to drive balls away from the street. The driving range stalls will be a total of 150 ft long and 15 feet wide. They will be built on 2 levels to allow for a total of 50 stalls. Additionally, there will be a walkway along the back of each stall that will allow for movement between stalls and allows access to the main facility.

Nonmembers may use the facility for an a la carte rate. The Company will establish certain weekday peak hours and non-peak hours according to demand. Non-peak hours will cost $3, excluding the price of club rentals and balls. Peak hours will be set at $7. The Company’s batting cages will be priced at a similar rate.

The company will also hold a vibrant kids program and summer camp. Enrollment for this program will range from $350 per month to $400 for an entire birthday party. Alternatively, kids can get special lessons at $50 / hour from a child instructor. Adults may also enjoy a professional lesson at $150 / hour.

MARKET STUDY: GOLF DRIVING RANGES & FAMILY FUN CENTERS1

The Golf Driving Ranges & Family Fun Centers industry provides recreational and amusement services through a variety of establishments, including golf driving ranges, miniature golf centers, go-cart racetracks, batting cages, family fun centers, recreational sports leagues, and a wide assortment of outdoor recreational activities. The industry excludes establishments that are primarily arcades, themed amusement parks, gambling facilities, golf courses, country clubs, skiing facilities, marinas, fitness and recreational sports centers, and bowling alleys. Factors determining demand for various sports and recreation facilities include but are not limited to household disposable income, consumer confidence, seasonal and weather conditions, leisure time availability, and the cost of alternative entertainment facilities. As disposable income rises, so does demand for industry services. Similarly, when consumer confidence is high, demand for recreational facilities and clubs will increase. Adverse weather conditions, such as excessive rain, snow, or heat, can deter customers from these outdoor activities. However, not all firms within the industry operate outdoors; for example, companies such as Dave & Buster's and CEC Entertainment Inc. would benefit from poor weather conditions as long as consumers were willing to drive to the establishment. Finally, an increase in the cost of attending substitute entertainment facilities (e.g. movie theaters) can boost demand for less expensive activities in the Golf Driving Ranges and Family Fun Centers industry.

The industry has seen an average annual growth rate of 0.2% over the last five years, placing industry revenue at an expected $9.0 billion for 2014. Although there was some slight revenue growth during the recession, economic uncertainty caused firms to pause the development of additional establishments and deterred firms from entering the industry. Firms streamlined costs by delaying hiring additional workers in 2008 and reducing wages by about 1.6% 2009 in order to preserve profit margins. As the economy continues to recover from the recession, new entrants and wages are expected to increase, as is overall revenue. As per capita disposable rises, more consumers will be able to allocate expenditures toward leisure activities, including golf driving ranges and family fun centers. Furthermore, rising household income also translates into greater spending on food, beverages and merchandise items at industry establishments. The Golf Driving Ranges & Family Fun Centers industry is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 2.7% over the next five years. These growth trends bode extremely well for Golf Company as it establishes its brand in the marketplace.

MARKET SIZE

The number of enterprises is expected to rise at an annualized rate of 1.4% to 17,139 operators during the five years to 2019. A number of small and independent operators will enter the market in order to appeal to a market niche of local consumers, such as golf and laser tag enthusiasts. As more time-strapped households value spending leisure time as a family, demand for golf driving ranges and family fun centers will increase. Employment is also expected to rise, at an annualized rate of 0.5% to 99,007 workers over the five-year period, as more industry operators implement a workforce that updates and operates equipment, especially during off-season periods. Moreover, as industry operators apply promotions and discount strategies to drive customer foot traffic, demand for employees will increase. These trends bode well for Golf Company, as they show the substantial profits that are available in the industry.

MARKET SEGMENTATION2

Consumers aged 17 and younger: Activities like miniature golf, batting cages, waterslides and carousels mainly appeal to children younger than 18. As a result, this age group is the most active market segment in the industry, estimated to generate 35.0% of industry revenue. Over the past five yeas, this demographic has been contributing a larger portion of industry revenue, as more health- conscious parents want their children to participate in physical activity, such as golf driving ranges.

Consumers aged from 18 to 40: The proportion of young adults aged from 18 to 25 in the population has increased in recent years, raising this segment’s industry market share. This age group tends to have more available leisure time and higher disposable income, which is often spent on recreational activities. Many of the amusement and recreation activities within this industry appeal to this market segment, which accounts for about 25.0% of industry revenue.

The 26-to-40 age group also has high disposable income and pursues sporting and amusement activities. While this age group is more likely to have children whom they would accompany to family entertainment centers, they also partake in other segments of the industry on their own, accounting for about 19.0% of industry revenue. Driving ranges, shooting ranges, club sports and water recreation activities appeal to this age group in particular.

Consumers aged from 41 to 60: The 41-to-60 age group, which includes some of the baby-boomer population, continues to drive sports and recreation participation, accounting for about 16.0% of revenue. Despite this fact, baby boomers account for proportionally less industry revenue than their population numbers may suggest, especially when compared to the younger categories. IBISWorld expects that this is the result of many baby boomers still being in the workforce, therefore having less leisure time. However, as baby boomers enter retirement, their participation rates in industry activities will increase.

Consumers aged 60 and older: The final market segment, made up of consumers aged 60 and older, accounts for about 5.0% of the market. This segment is beginning to increase in size as the early baby- boomer generation enters this age category. IBISWorld estimates that because this age category enjoys lighter physical activities, there will be an array of opportunities for facilities like driving ranges and other similar activities.

A BIGGER PICTURE: NATIONWIDE DISTRIBUTION OF BUSINESS LOCATIONS3

The Golf Driving Ranges and Family Fun Centers industry is highly fragmented. In general, industry establishments follow the dispersion of the US population. The more highly populated regions typically attract a greater number of establishments because the travel time to amusement and recreational centers is reduced. This is not the case, however, for specialist activities like fishing, hiking and white-water rafting. Such amusement and recreational activities are typically based in regions where location and environmental factors are more suitable for those specific activities (e.g. the Great Lakes region and the states of Washington and Colorado). As a result, the popularity of certain activities can be geographically determined. For example, Maine is likely to have more ice hockey memberships than the national average, whereas Florida is more likely to have beachside activities.

The regions that hold the greatest number of establishments include the Southeast (21.9% of establishments), West (16.4%) and Mid-Atlantic (15.6%). These three regions also have the highest proportion of the US population, which explains the high degree of establishments. The Southeast, West and Mid-Atlantic have population proportions of 25.4%, 17.1% and 15.5%, respectively.

As a percentage of the total US population, the Rocky Mountains region has a 4.9 percentage point discrepancy between its number of establishments (8.5%) and its share of the population (3.6%). IBISWorld expects that the high concentration of recreational establishments in this region is the result of its high level of tourism (with an outdoors focus). Industry operators catering to tourists may offer activities including white-water rafting, kayaking, hiking, rock climbing, trail riding and other outdoor adventures. The states that hold the most establishments are California (with 8.9% of establishments), New York (6.5%), Texas (5.9%), Florida (5.9%), Pennsylvania (4.2%) and Illinois (4.2%). These six states have the highest proportion of the US

population, and, therefore, the development of establishments is directly meeting population demand.

TARGET MARKET

The primary target market for the services that are being offered by Golf Company will be sports enthusiasts of all ages. The wide range of products at Golf Company will provide something for every demographic. The company will employ a three prong approach; there will be targeted offerings for the younger demographic, the corporate clients and families. By diversifying its marketing efforts in the fashion mentioned, Golf Company will be able to efficiently establish its presence in the marketplace.

Golf Entertainment International, a London-based private group, bought franchise rights to the company’s Canadian and US locations in 2004, and the company’s US headquarters are in Wood Dale, IL.

TopGolf has three primary business segments: food and beverage sales, miniature golf courses and driving ranges. The games segment generates the majority (55.0%) of the company’s revenue, with food and beverage sales making up about 20.0% of revenue. Retail sales, lessons and events constitute the remainder of company revenue. Customers with significant leisure time account for 50.0% of clients that choose TopGolf as an alternative to bowling or a movie. The company’s remaining customers are either recreational or expert golfers and IBISWorld estimates that company revenue will total $15.0 million in 2014.
