Golf industry sees continued growth across Australia in 2015

THE Australian golf industry had some welcome end of year news with the latest figures showing continued growth in golf participation.

According to an Australian Golf Industry Council (AGIC) report released late December the number of competition rounds continued to grow.
For the period of July 2015 to September 2015, a 3.6 per cent increase in competition rounds were recorded across all states except South Australia; statistics that are consistent with the growth recorded across the same three month period in 2014.

“These figures are very encouraging. To see more Australians engaging in competition rounds at their club drives national participation and helps golf in this country thrive,” said Brian Thorburn, Chairman of the AGIC and CEO of the PGA of Australia.

“Australia offers world class golf courses, competitions and programs that go head-to-head with the best in the world and to see an increase in the number of Australians playing and enjoying golf is fantastic.”
