| Abstract | Colorado’s golf industry caters to golfers of all skill levels, from varying income distributions, representing all stages of life, and visiting from both local and distant locales. With such a broad customer base, Colorado golf has a large impact on the state’s economy, contributing over $560 million in direct revenues to Colorado’s economy in 2002 (http://dare.agsci.colostate.edu/csuagecon/extension/docs/impactanalysis/edr0408.pdf). With this in mind, Colorado’s golf industry commissioned a research project to provide more in-depth analysis on the environmental and economic role of the sport, resulting in two studies published earlier in 2004. This paper addresses some of the relevant issues associated with the golfing population that may influence the future growth of the industry and its impact on the state’s economy. These issues include golfer demographics, the game’s role in the recreational lifestyles of golf players and how golf’s role may be changing, golfer’s course choice and satisfaction as well as the golfer expenditures used to estimate the economic impact of golf on other state industries. |
