The report says that rounds of golf were up 15.2 percent in January and February nationwide for facilities that were open based on seasonality, with the best improvement being 25.5 percent on Pacific Coast states.

But based on research of facilities that are open, 42 percent nationwide said that rounds were down from March 21 to March 27, with 69 percent of that decrease attributable to coronavirus and 30 percent attributable to weather. An average amount of rounds played was reported at 26 percent of facilities, and above average play was reported at 32 percent of courses in that period.
