Golf Driving Ranges & Family Fun Centers in the US

A rise in time spent on leisure activities is driving consumers toward recreational services. Golf driving range and family fun center providers are part of a larger industry group with more than one hundred indoor and outdoor entertainment, recreation, amusement, camp and club services. Consumer recreational expenditures declined and shifted to local outdoor recreation or in-home entertainment during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. The precipitous drop in industry purchases and a significant increase in the unemployment rate impacted many recreation service providers. They caused industry revenue to idle at a CAGR of 0.1% to $16.8 billion through 2023. Lower purchases, rent and marketing costs allowed a bounce back in profit from pandemic lows, despite a slight increase in revenue of 0.4% in 2023.

Industry operators provide recreational and amusement services through a variety of establishments, including golf driving ranges, miniature golf centers, go-kart racetracks, batting cages, family fun centers, recreational sports leagues and a wide assortment of outdoor recreational activities.
