There are 8776 golf courses in the US. The average land size of a golf course is 170 acres. That means there are 1,492,920 acres of land dedicated to golf courses. The acerage of the average home is 0.19, so 5 homes can fit comfortably on an acre of land. That means 298,384 homes could be built on that land that is used solely for hitting a little ball to ultimately get it into a little hole. Kinda weird, huh?.
