Golf\u2019s surge in popularity seen during the pandemic is still holding strong. In June, US rounds played up year-over-year for the third straight month<\/a>. Demand remains high and continues to trend above pre-pandemic levels<\/a>. Pair this with the fact that participation is up among women, juniors and people of color<\/a>, and it\u2019s clear that access to public golf in North America is more important than ever. Public facilities that deliver rich, fulfilling golf experiences are well-positioned to succeed.<\/p>\n

Lightspeed\u2019s platform is the perfect choice for facilities looking to reach more golfers, drive revenue and deliver a great customer experience. Although many courses expected a contraction in the industry in 2022, Lightspeed customers future-proofed their businesses and experienced a sustained interest in the game with rounds played, GTV and transaction sizes up year-over-year between 2021 and 2022:<\/p>\n
