We went into Google Maps and measured the area in acres of 3 well-known golf courses and also a local course and a par-3 18-hole course.
The PGA Tour well-known courses are on average:
- 185 acres
The local public course is:
- 60 acres

So as you can see how many acres a golf course has varies greatly based on use. Also, does the golf course have:
- A driving range?
- A clubhouse?
- How big is the parking lot?
- Is a community of homes located within?
- Practice facilities?
