The Case

Golf Is Opening Its Doors

A Sport Opening Its Doors — Nearly 7.9 million women played on-course golf in 2024, an all-time high, with women now representing 28% of on-course golfers and over 40% of off-course-only golfers, according to the National Golf Foundation.
You Don't Have Six Hours. You Have Two. — A round with a foursome averages four to four-and-a-half hours before travel time, and industry research consistently names time as golf's single biggest barrier to participation.
Golf Without the Country Club Price Tag — Research on golfer participation constraints shows cost and access, not interest, keep people off the course, hitting lower- and middle-income golfers hardest.
Golf That Moves At Your Pace — Health researchers cite mobility limitations as a leading reason older golfers step away from the game; simulator golf removes the walking, weather, and rushed pace entirely.
A Game the Whole Family Can Grow Into — On-course junior participation is up 58% since 2019, and off-course junior participation has nearly doubled, per the National Golf Foundation — a low-pressure entry point for the whole family.
