Highest Public Golf Percentage by State
Approximately 75% of overall golf supply, whether facilities or courses, is open to public play. These 10 U.S. states have the highest proportion of public courses to private clubs. Alaska leads the way, as there are no private courses at all in the nation's largest, yet third least-populated, state. Great Lakes states such as Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin are among the best-supplied states with the greatest proportion of public access golf.
