Facts from our own catalog of 14,987 golf courses across all 50 states, cross-checked against industry counts from the National Golf Foundation where they exist. Which states and cities have the most courses, how common nine-hole courses really are, and the methodology behind our Golf Course Census. These pieces are built to be cited: every table states its source and revision, and our numbers describe courses mapped in Yardage, never a claim to be a complete census of American golf.
