2024 U.S. Rounds Momentum – Q3

With three quarters of 2024 in the books, the number of rounds played at U.S. courses nationwide continues to trend slightly ahead of 2023's record pace. As tracked by the blue line in the accompanying graphic, 2024 play (entering October) was still running almost 2% ahead of last year and over 15% higher than the three-year, pre-pandemic average. The biggest climb in the year-to-date cumulative chart is during the peak-season months (April through September), with the shoulder months (January through March, and October through December) experiencing more of a leveling-off.
