Top 10 Golfer States: Massachusetts Makes The List

With the dog days of summer fully upon us, residents of cold weather locales like Massachusetts are running out of daylight, which means it’s high time to book that tee time and hit the links.

For Bay State residents, it appears that that call to arms (or clubs, in this case) has not fallen on deaf ears, with the Commonwealth scoring among the leaders in the nation when it comes to topics related to the pastime.

National Golf Month is celebrated in August. At BetMassachusetts.com, we wanted to see what states have the greatest interest in golfing to honor the month-long holiday. Using Google Trends, we tallied up the search interest scores for “golf,” “golf courses,” and “golf lessons,” between July 30, 2023 – July 30, 2024.
