INTRODUCTION

Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. Currently, the city is estimated to be populated by about 7 million people from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds. Considered essentially an administrative city, Abuja was described in its early years as a dull, boring and sleepy town due to the near absence of social life, especially when compared to such cities as Lagos, Kaduna and Port Harcourt. As a result, many residents traveled out of the city at weekends to catch fun and entertainment in other cities.

However, today, the story has changed significantly. The boost in social life has made the city livelier. To meet the entertainment needs of residents, recreational and entertainment facilities have continued to spring up in the city, to provide a variety of services. Unfortunately, a number of these facilities provide limited entertainment and recreation, resulting in residents having to move from one place to another in search of variety. Also, the serenity and privacy which most people desire are largely absent in most of these facilities available before now.

The Golf and Health Signature (GHS) was conceived to bridge the gap and provide the ambience that is necessary for optimal entertainment and recreation in a variety of ways.
