Is Golf getting more popular with kids and teens?

Yes—Project Play reports big gains in youth Golf in 2025, though the provided text gives no sport-specific growth figure. The Aspen Institute’s report highlights Golf as a growing youth sport. Its latest sports data came from 18,000 online interviews nationwide. Sports Marketing Surveys carried out those interviews, covering activity in 2025. This was a report on sports involvement, not a test of health benefits. The broader picture shows more children returning to organized sports. In 2021, 49% of children ages 6–17 played organized sports. By 2024, 58% played on a team or took sports lessons. That remains below the national goal of 63% by 2030. Those numbers cover sports overall, not just this community’s game. The 2024 figure came from a separate U.S. Census Bureau survey. It surveyed about 37,000 parents and offers state-by-state results. But its data arrives two years later and lacks sport-by-sport details. The two surveys offer different views, rather than one shared set of results. For BioSocial members, growing interest is a useful starting point for comparing habits. It does not show whether young players walked or rode in carts. Nor does the supplied text report changes in bloodwork or fitness. Our community focuses on walking the course. Tracking Daily Steps alongside rounds played could make those outings easier to compare. Notes about holes played and cart use add helpful context. Sharing those details keeps the discussion grounded in what members actually do. What have you noticed about younger players joining your rounds, and how do your activity numbers compare on course days?
