Top 6 risks for golf courses and country clubs

Preparation and keeping an eye on emerging risks in an ever-changing environment are key to success on and off the golf course. For example: 

  • Impaired and inexperienced or underage drivers and passengers can increase the risk of golf carts tipping over or crashing into pedestrians.

  • On-site restaurants and banquet facilities have unique liquor liability and food safety concerns. 

  • Severe weather can cause injury to players or considerable damage to a golf course, forcing it to shut down during repairs.

Golf courses and golf facilities property and safety trends 

In 2022, 25% of accidents we saw at golf courses were related to slips, trips and falls. When limited to only bodily injury claims, slips/trips/falls accounted for 44% of general liability claims.1 With amenities and activities extending beyond the greens, golf courses face a wide variety of risks. 

To stay ahead of evolving risks, Travelers engages the PGA TOUR to explore emerging risks and trends impacting golf courses and golf facilities.
