Information:

In 1895, the year after the United States Golf Association was formed, it’s said that there were 76 golf clubs in the United States, a total that would increase ten-fold within the following three years. Looking at today’s figures, an R&A report entitled “Golf around the world 2015” believes there are now 15,372 golf facilities nationwide, a figure that represents approximately 45% of the total number throughout the world.

Golf’s history in the U.S. dates to at least 1657, when a pair of apparently drunk men were arrested for breaking windows by hitting balls with their clubs in Albany, New York. Savannah, Georgia shipping records from 1744 document the arrival of golf equipment sent from Scotland.

According to the USGA, a club in Charleston, South Carolina was founded in 1786.
