Data collected shows that 2025 set a new record for the number of rounds played in Great Britain, underlining that golf continues to grow and remains as popular as ever.
Research conducted by Sporting Insights points to a 14% increase in rounds played compared with 2024, pushing the year-end total to its highest level since comparable records began in 2005.
Even more striking is that this rise in participation was felt nationwide, with every region recording its strongest figures for the fourth consecutive year.
This is obviously extremely good news for the golf industry. Our sport has never been more visible, more accessible, or more popular, and huge credit should go to everyone involved.
