KPMG Golf Benchmark Survey

The Golf Benchmark Survey (GBS) is a market intelligence study designed to collect and share comparable golf industry benchmarks across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMA).

The regional reports and the comparative report - based on data supplied by nearly 1,500 golf courses throughout 48 countries in 2007 - allow golf course owners and managers to compare their individual course performance against high, average and low performers of their geographic markets. In the years to come, when a critical amount of historical data will be available, a key goal of the Survey is to determine trends impacting the golf industry in different geographic regions.

KPMG Golf Course Development Cost Survey

Golf course development is a growing business across the world. International experience proves that, especially when combined with real estate and/or tourism development, a golf course can offer an exciting investment opportunity. As such, comparable primary information on golf course development costs can prove to be invaluable when thinking strategically about golf development.

KPMG Golf Advisory Practice EMA has prepared a study of golf course development costs in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMA). The research aims to provide investors, developers and other industry stakeholders with a better understanding of the factors influencing the construction of golf courses, typical development timing and the process of selecting golf course architects and construction companies.
