American singer Justin Timberlake is investing in 3's golf course in Greenville. The course was originally owned by former American golfer Jay Hass with his group investments before the renowned hospitality industry businessman, Davis Senza, bought it for a favorable amount.

Senza, who used to live in a golf-centered upscale community in Cliff's valley, has recently moved into his new house in Palm Beach and is now interested in developing a golf community across the upstate.

Davis is working on refurbishing the 3's Greenville Golf Course and hopes to create a place for the major attractions of food, beverages, golf, and entertainment.

Justin Timberlake is investing in 8AM golf, which has 35 percent of 3's. It is important to note that the 8AM golf course is a part of Nicklaus Companies, and following his interest in the game, Timberlake is investing in it.

Speaking about his new business endeavor, Justin said:

"The 3′s concept is one I’m extremely excited about, making golf more accessible, less intimidating, and more fun is a passion of mine, and that’s exactly what 3′s accomplishes with its 12-hole, par-3 layout and its relaxed ‘all are welcome’ vibe.”

It's pertinent to note that Senza is looking for a better golf community than Greenville, and he will possibly introduce the 3's concept in Las Vegas, Nashville, and Scottsdale.

Ever since Davis came to Greenville while attending college at the University of Georgia, he has been ingrained with the city's development and praised mayor Knox White for his constant efforts.

In one of his interviews, Davis said:

"Knox has been a great supporter of good ideas and quality business."

Senza said that the growth in Greenville has been tremendous.

"There are not many cities that have grown so positively," Davis added.
