GOLF MEANS BUSINESS. BIG BUSINESS. Bigger than Disney World. A new study shows the game carries an $8.2 billion economic impact in Florida, more than amusement and theme parks ($5.4 billion), more than medical equipment and supplies manufacturing ($6.5 billion). Considering indirect and induced activity driven by golf, Florida golf has a total economic output of $11 billion. That’s a helluva swing.
You live in Florida, you visit Florida, you know golf is big. You drive by the courses. There are 1,183 of them. Florida has 21,294 golf holes, the most in America.
You see it, you covet it, thereby an estimated 1.6 million people identify themselves as “golfers” in Florida. Cross that with the census and one in every dozen Floridians plays golf. The National Golf Foundation figures 40 million rounds of golf are played in the Sunshine State each year.
