Asia and Africa Bulk of supply still remains largely centralised
9 GOLF FACILITIES WORLDWIDE 8 countries with 500+ golf facilities 30 countries with 100+ golf facilities 50 countries with only one golf facility 10 countries account for 79% of golf facilities While worldwide supply of golf facilities continues to be highly concentrated among traditional golfing nations, golf spreading around the globe with new courses opening in more places

13 SOUTH AMERICA With 2016 Olympic Games fast approaching, construction on Olympic golf course is well underway in Brazil As golf will receive much attention in lead-up and during Olympics, many anxious to see how this event affects golf s growth in region and world Brazil and Argentina, two largest countries in the region account for 67% of total golf supply 30 golf courses in development in Brazil and Argentina

Morocco has 36 open golf courses and 9 resort courses under development. Morocco s northern coastal location, easily accessible to the European and Western makes in an ideal place for such a project. However, these large developments tend to progress slowly as regions often lack infrastructure to support them
17 AFRICA cont. South Africa most dominant golf market golf courses Along with strong local demand ( registered golfers), golf courses benefit from South Africa s reputation as high profile tourist destination While number of courses in South Africa has dropped slightly in recent years, golf still an increasingly popular component of residential community developments Zimbabwe, Egypt, Mauritius and Morocco contribute notably to Africa s golf supply, although these countries have less than 50 golf courses each Golf Course Development Cost Survey 2014 EMA
