Best Answer

Based on the World Golf Foundation's "The Golf 20/20 Industry Report for 2002," there were about 15,827 golf courses in the United States as of March 2003. Golf course characteristics information provided by the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (www.gcsaa.org ) indicates that an 18-hole golf facility averages about 150-200 acres of total land, including water bodies, hard structures, and out-of-play areas. A typical urban golf course is only 110-120 acres, and courses in resort areas may be 170-190 acres (G. Lyman, GCSAA; personal communication 11/19/04). found @ http://www.epa.gov/oppefed1/models/water/golf_course_adjustment_factors.htm

Not every 18 hole golf course is on the same amount of land, therefore there is no specific number of acres in an 18 hole golf course.

How long does it take to create a golf course from scratch on average?

The time it takes to build a golf course would depend on the intricacy of the course you are trying to create, however one could create a golf course in a matter of about two years. The reason it takes so long would be due to the time spend designing as well as gathering all the correct permits required to construct one.
