An interesting and thorough analysis on the worrying rise of green fees across the luxury end of the Scottish golf tourism industry. I get the sense of a growing appetite for ‘craft’ alternatives to the trophy courses. Brora, Cullen, Shiskine, Kilspindie...

The average green fee for top UK golf clubs has gone from £88 to £241 in the last 20 years. As golf faces into a recession, I’ve put down some thoughts on how clubs could change their approach to attract back the domestic audience.
