Golf Inc. has selected 15 projects to receive its 2026 Amenity of the Year honors, recognizing amenities that are enhancing the club experience and delivering measurable business impact at golf facilities worldwide.
The annual program highlights excellence across five categories: Golf Range & Entertainment, Aquatics, Racket, Spa/Wellness/Fitness, and Multiple Amenities. The selected projects will be announced online March 11.
Today’s most successful clubs understand that the overall experience drives engagement. This year’s honorees reflect a shift toward amenities that support year-round use, including wellness and fitness facilities, social gathering spaces, racket and paddle sports complexes, and technology-driven practice and instruction environments. Many projects are designed to serve multiple purposes, combining recreation with hospitality and community connection.
Entries were evaluated through a blind judging process by an independent panel of industry professionals and the Golf Inc. editorial team. Projects were scored on operational efficiency and integration (30%), visual appeal and design quality (30%), and financial performance, including revenue growth, membership gains or improved retention (40%).
The competition is open to public, private and resort facilities worldwide, and there is no entry fee. Submissions are reviewed without identifying information to ensure an objective evaluation.
The 2026 Amenity of the Year winners will be featured in the March/April 2026 issue of Golf Inc., scheduled for release on March 25.
