Golf equipment is designed and manufactured around the globe. Many golf equipment manufacturers are headquartered in the United States.
This article will take a look at 7 cities around the United States that are home to iconic golf brands.
Carlsbad, California
Located just north of San Diego, Carlsbad is a magnet for golf equipment manufacturers. Carlsbad is located along the coast, making shipments easier. The land is also relatively inexpensive compared to other parts of California.
Today, Callaway, TaylorMade, Cobra, and plenty of other manufacturers call Carlsbad home. It is why Carlsbad is known as Golf Central, USA. The city has built its own infrastructure of skilled labor, supply chains, research and development, and catered specifically to the golf industry.
Phoenix, Arizona
As soon as you mention Arizona, everyone knows which golf brand you’re talking about. Situated in the desert outside Phoenix, Arizona, PING Golf has its headquarters. The facility is impressive. There, PING designs, constructs, assembles, and ships nearly all of their golf clubs.
It is also home to the famous PING putter vault. PING has certainly constructed its very own golf oasis in Arizona.
Missoula, Montana
Montana is probably not the first state that pops into your head when you think of golf. However, the city of Missoula, Montana is home to Sun Mountain Sports. There, Sun Mountain assembles some of the highest quality golf bags in the world.
This is made more impressive by the realization that Sun Mountain assembles nearly their entire product line here in the United States.
Batavia, Illinois
Located shortly outside Chicago, the city of Batavia, Illinois is home to Tour Edge. At their facility in Batavia, all Tour Edge Exotics clubs are hand-built in the United States. Tour Edge was founded in and continues to operate in its home state of Illinois. The Windy City has therefore contributed its fair share to the golf equipment industry.
Covington, Georgia
The east coast is home to many golf companies as well. For example, Covington, Georgia is home to the headquarters of Bridgestone Golf. The company is technically a subsidiary of the Japanese company Bridgestone. However, Covington is the headquarters for Bridgestone Golf and the Precept brand.
Pinehurst, North Carolina
Pinehurst, North Carolina is home to the headquarters of Golf Pride. Golf Pride is one of the largest golf grips companies in the world. The small village has less than 14,000 permanent residents. However, the historic Pinehurst Resort is a golfing icon.
Fairhaven, Massachusetts
The last city on our list is Fairhaven Massachusetts. This city is home to Titleist. Titleist is a strong staple of the golf industry and has long lived in the relatively small town of Fairhaven.
Overall, the United States has golf equipment manufacturers spread throughout the nation. There are hotspot locations like Carlsbad, California as well as small towns like Pinehurst, North Carolina and Fairhaven, Massachusetts.
