We are New York Golf

Empire State Golf Alliance Member Associations

The Empire State Golf Alliance (ESGA) unites 19 golf industry associations representing the courses, clubs, businesses, and workforce that power golf in New York State.

Golf in New York is a $12.9 billion industry supporting 89,000 jobs and $3.8 billion in wages. It cares for 103,000 acres of greenspace, raises $267 million for local charities, and is broadly accessible, welcoming 1.6 million golfers, with 72% of New York golf open to the public.

We advocate for science-informed policy, grow the game for new and returning players, build the next generation of golf’s workforce, and share how golf strengthens New York’s economy, environment, and communities.
