Golf Is Back, but Good Luck Getting a Tee Time

| June 16, 2025

Interest in the game was waning before the pandemic, until the focus on safer outdoor activities led 3.0 million new golfers to take up the sport in 2020, followed by 3.2 million in 2021. In 2023, a record 3.4 million people played on a golf course for the first time. Overall, 26.6 million Americans played golf in 2023, up from 25.6 million in 2022. Easier access to instruction (via social media and the internet), new golf entertainment venues (with refreshments and high-tech simulators), and even less-stodgy golf fashions have helped attract the next generation of golfers.

The golf industry is flourishing even though gearing up to play can be costly. A newly purchased golf bag and a full set of clubs could set you back $1,500 or more, though you might be able to find some decent used clubs online or at a garage sale for a fraction of that cost. You may also need to buy a pair of golf shoes, a box of balls, a glove, and possibly some introductory lessons before you set out to play your first 18 holes.
