European Golf Statistics 2017

The European Golf Course Owners Association has finalised their European Golf Statistics for 2017, the key report for all European Golf Course Owners.

With over 4.15 million registered golfers across Europe and almost 7,000 standard length golf courses for them to play on, they consider the European market as Stabilised.

Over 50% of the European market is based in the five most established golfing countries, namely England, Germany, Sweden, France and the Netherlands with the top ten markets hosting 86% of the golfers.

England still holds the title of the largest golfing nation, at 16.86% of the total. However, Germany is quickly catching up at 15.49%. It has seen consistent growth over the last ten years, whilst the English market has been slowly contracting. It also has a much healthier proportion of both Juniors and Women, suggesting that it may not be long until it leads demand for golf in Europe.
