Eight of the top 10 most played golf courses by Arccos users last year were in California, the shot tracking company has announced.
The majority of the eight were in the San Francisco area of the Golden State, with the Earth and Fire courses at Dubai’s Jumeriah Golf Estates making up the other two courses in the top 10.
Top of the list was Baylands Golf Links. Formerly Palo Alto Municipal, the course was renovated in 2018 by Forest Richardson and renamed. Baylands Golf Links saw a total of 1,497 Arccos member rounds played last year – equating to almost 125 rounds each month.
“California is by far the most popular destination for the Arccos community and the courses around the San Francisco area in particular are clearly where golfers choose to leverage Arccos most often,” said Darren Feeney, Arccos’ Vice President of Marketing.
“We love seeing rounds from around the globe appear on our list as it clearly showcases why Arccos is golf’s #1 on-course tracking system,” he added.
