How many golf courses are in Ohio?
The pastime has more participants now than ever before, according to Mike Hendrix, membership growth officer for the Ohio Golf Course Owners Association.
“We’re in this amazing resurgence in golf ever since COVID,” Hendrix said. “The business of golf in Ohio is quite strong right now.”
National Golf Foundation statistics show that a record 48.1 million Americans played some form of golf in 2025, including traditional courses, driving ranges, indoor golf simulators or golf entertainment venues like Topgolf.
The more than 600 golf courses throughout the Buckeye State have seen a similar uptick in business.
“We certainly are a top-10 state for golf,” Hendrix said. “Ohio is quite strong.”
