Its popularity is rising due to increased accessibility, growing interest from younger generations through social media and entertainment, and the appeal of outdoor, socially distant recreation. Golf course equipment is essential for maintaining turf, landscaping, and overall course conditions, ensuring a consistent, high-quality playing experience and effective course management. For instance, in July 2025, according to The Golf Club Management, a UK-based professional association and media agency, approximately 43.3 million adults and juniors played 9 or 18 holes in 2024, up from 42.7 million the previous year. Therefore, the rising popularity of golf is propelling the golf course equipment market.
