I think it’s safe to say it’s officially cool to play golf. 2025 was another record-breaking year, with over 500 million on-course golf rounds played in the U.S. Golf is no longer the snooty sport exclusively reserved for the elite. A record 47 million Americans played golf in 2025, including on-course golf, simulators, and driving ranges. There were over 3.4 million beginner golfers in 2025. Social golfing is redefining the sport, placing more focus on fun than score, and driving revenue and participation sky high.
