Golf Courses - A Hole-in-One Investment?

Bull has caught Ryder Cup fever and today leads a discussion on the health of golf. Some of the main takeaways include:

  • Golf has seen a stunning rise in adult participation across the world, up by 34% over the last seven years. 

  • There are an estimated 1,790 golf courses in the UK, with Yorkshire being England’s golf course hot spot.

  • 11,000 acres of land in Greater London is given over to golf. That’s more than double the size of the London Borough of Hackney. 

  • It’s not just those with the housing shortage on their agenda looking at golf courses as solutions to their problems. There have also been suggestions that some could become allotments, biodiverse green space or even urban farms. 

  • Despite the rise in demand, lots of golf clubs across the country are having to evolve and enhance their offerings simply to stay afloat.

  • Golf courses remain desirable for some investors and are expected to remain so if the growth of the game continues.
