I am in the process of acquiring a small piece of land (about 30 acres) in the Hohoe District of Volta region of Ghana. This part of the country is among the most scenic with a lot of hills and waterfalls. I just want to develop something for golf lovers because there is none in the whole region. There is the possibility of adding more land if need be, Please advise
