Golf Directories
NGF's complete and accurate database of golf courses and businesses
It sets us apart and, years ago, set us in motion. In 1936, six equipment manufacturers came together to fund NGF’s efforts to identify every golf course in the U.S. Today, this definitive database contains more than 29,000 golf courses and businesses, and 71,000 individual contacts.
NGF membership provides open access to our unrivaled database. Every day, our team verifies golf courses — identifying openings, closings and any new projects in development – as well as the key decision-makers at these facilities. This member benefit can be used to help businesses identify customers and prospects, facilities to search for suppliers and vendors, and to find contacts within the golf industry.
