The global golf club market size was valued at USD 3.66 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.5% from 2020 to 2027...

... Increase, in millions of dollars, directly due to that 14 percent rise in rounds played in June. It’s useful to think about these changes in terms of real-world effects, and more rounds translates directly to more dollars for golf facilities. There are still plenty of unique challenges presented to owners and operators under new rules, including limited cart usage and potentially fewer clubhouse amenities, but courses certainly rejoice when they see full tee sheets.

A number of spring condition reviews have been posted under the "Easter Weekend-Course Open" thread. I posted 2 there on Dragonfly and Cedarhill. There are a few others there as well. Perhaps they can be moved over to the Spring Condition Thread?

Good idea. I copied the original posts + some relevant replies. Hoping this is helpful.

Played Pineview Executive at 530, overall quite enjoyable for early season golf. Some fairways quite wet and greens were recently aerated so don't expect to roll it pure or receive any level of appropriate feedback on speed or line.

Tee boxes were in pretty rough shape but I definitely appreciated all the broken tees for the Par 3s. For $20 it certainly beat bashing balls for an hour.

Played two balls, did some greenside practice so as not to encroach on the group ahead of me and made it to the 11th green before trekking back to the parking lot as the sun was setting.

Will probably wait a couple weeks before hitting the Championship course for a twilight round.
