About This Dataset

Countries by Number of Golf Courses 2024

Countries ranked by total number of golf courses within their borders in 2024, including public, private, resort and municipal courses. The United States has 16,752 courses — more than the other seven countries in this table combined, which together have 11,536.

Japan is second with 3,169 and Canada third with 2,362, followed by England (1,872), Australia (1,616), Germany (1,051), France (804) and Sweden (662).

Course counts depend on what is counted: some sources count a golf facility once however many courses it has, while others count each course separately, so totals for the same country can differ between publishers.
