Economic Impact of Golf

Below is a link to an interesting snapshot of the economic impact that golf has on a few states. Included in these numbers are the total number of courses, resulting revenue, jobs, and wages associated with our industry.

Politicians really like to pick on golf when environmental issues occur, but often back down when they realize the dollars and cents involved. Despite the decline in the golf industry, we are an industry with a significant impact. We provide entertainment, green space, sources for filtration of natural ground water, and oh yeah, lots of jobs and income.
