Regions like the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, the Australian coast, New Zealand, and affluent areas in South Africa boast the highest density of golf courses per million people, ranging from 100 to 200 courses. These regions primarily constitute the English-speaking world.
On the contrary, golf is notably less popular in continental Europe and Japan, where the number of courses per million people is considerably lower, sometimes even ten times less. In other parts of the world, golf remains a scarce and uncommon recreational activity.
