FAQ
How many golf courses are in Nevada?
Nevada has 110 golf facilities with 142 courses in the registry: 67 public, 12 municipal, 15 nine-hole and 120 eighteen-hole.
Why does this differ from the National Golf Foundation's count?
Industry figures such as the National Golf Foundation's are built from membership and survey data and usually report facilities or 18-hole equivalents. This registry counts golf facilities mapped in OpenStreetMap and lists their courses separately (a 27-hole club is one facility, three nine-hole courses), so the two totals are not directly comparable — treat ours as a verifiable floor, not a competing estimate.
