Summary of U.S. Private Golf - 2025

Private golf makes up about one quarter of course supply in the U.S., with members at private clubs accounting for fewer than 10% of on-course golfers. But the niche is a noteworthy one, as private club golfers tend to play and spend more than the average golfer, while private golf development is on a recent upswing. This one-page report details supply and demand within the private golf space, along with NGF’s latest research on demographics, development and investment in the sector.
