BEDFORD, Ohio — Buoyed by a historically mild winter, the number of rounds played at the Cleveland Metroparks’ 8 public golf courses is already off to a roaring start this year, continuing the post-pandemic momentum that has brought exponential growth and a steady stream of new players.
“In years past, you would see articles all the time, saying, “golf is dying, courses are closing,” Cosby said. “The demand is up exponentially. We’re up 35 percent.” Cosby said municipal golf courses, which are often more affordable than other public courses, have benefitted greatly from the pandemic golfing boom.
After COVID-19 lockdowns were lifted in the spring of 2020 and for the 18 months that followed, golf was one of only a few activities where people could safely socialize and practice social distancing. This dynamic opened the door to thousands of players picking up a golf club for the first time.
