Iowa Golf Economic Impact Study
In 2006, the size of Iowa's direct golf economy was approximately $428.9million. Golf brings visitors to the state, drives new construction and residential development, generates golf-related manufacturing and retail sales, and creates demand for a myriad of goods and services through the operation of the golf facilities themselves. When the total economic impact of these golf-related activities is calculated, Iowa’s golf industry generated approximately $769.6 million of direct, indirect and induced economic output, $230.7 million of wage income and 10,396 jobs.
