According to a prediction from BBC Sport, the number of virtual golf rounds played in the UK is expected to exceed that of outdoor rounds by the end of 2028.
This shift suggests a growing reliance on indoor golfing facilities, which may impact the design and capacity of existing golf courses and related infrastructure.
Operators in the golfing sector should consider the implications of this trend on their business models and resource allocation to accommodate changing player preferences.
