Course Openings by State (P5Y)
New course openings in the U.S. remain limited, although there will be a slight uptick in 2023. Two states -- Florida and Texas -- have led the way in both openings and course development in recent years. Texas added to its total with the opening of five courses during the first half of 2023, including three at the Omni PGA Frisco Resort in Frisco, Texas, with the Fields Ranch East and West 18s as well as the 10-hole Par 3 course known as "The Swing."
