Golf Around the World 2021 explores golf’s global reach as seen through the supply of golf courses, both existing and under development. Based on research from the NGF’s definitive international facility database, the R&A’s biennial report counts golf courses in 206 of the world’s 251 countries, with more than 38,000 overall as of year-end 2020.

In addition to course counts by country, the Golf Around the World report details which regions have the most golf courses and golf holes compared to population, the most golf courses compared to land area, and the most golf course projects in development.
