The number of golf rounds posted on the Golf Canada Score Centre app increased in 2025 in Saskatchewan, and across the nation.
According to data collected from the Canada’s governing body of amateur golf, rounds posted through the app, at the member club itself, or on desktop during the scoring season topped 11.26 million rounds. Golf Canada stated that’s a new record and a six percent increase over 2024.
In Saskatchewan the province was on par with the nation in score posting growth at six percent. Last year over 275,000 rounds were posted in Saskatchewan, this season just over 292,300 scores were entered. Golf Saskatchewan Executive Director Brian Lee said it’s no secret golf is extremely popular, but to see the app utilized for score posting and other features is positive to see.
“The Golf Canada app, available to all members is a fantastic tool for many reasons, with score posting and World Handicap Indexing technology,” Lee said. “Enter scores as a round or use the hole-by-hole scoring [and GPS] for inside analysis such as putts made. We have seen a large increase year over year and with more scores posted the golf industry is thriving.”
Since 2019, fueled by the increased playing of golf due to Covid-19 round posting has increased 30 percent in Saskatchewan. That benchmark is lowest among all Canadian provinces with several jurisdictions reporting increases of over 100 percent. Lee said those stats show the sport has been strong for years prior due to a boost in 2020.
“We have seen a boom for the sport as the stats show, it’s not just rounds reported by the players, courses are reporting overall rounds have skyrocketed at Saskatchewan clubs as well. Ladies’ nights are more popular than ever, junior golf is expanding border to border, and tee times are at a premium from what we hear and what the data shows,” Lee said.
Three of the four Maritime provinces reported increases over 100 percent. New Brunswick saw rounds go up 118 percent since 2019, only Nova Scotia at 71 percent was below the 100 threshold.
Nationwide the increase of rounds posted is 55 percent. In 2019 over 7.2 million rounds were accounted for, 2023 was the first year over 10 million were entered.
The 2026 scoring season opens on April 15. Until then, we hope you visit on of the indoor facilities across the province, make a trip to a warmer climate, or just consume golf content on your digital device or television.
