Quiz! Can You Name Which European Countries Have The Most Golf Courses?
Do you know which 10 countries in Europe have the most golf courses?


This golf quiz tests your knowledge of the countries of Europe as well as golf. There are 44 countries in Europe, according to the United Nations. These countries vary enormously in size from the largest, Russia, which is about 39 million times greater in size than the smallest, Vatican City. Russia covers about a ninth of the world’s landmass.
Size matters when guessing the answers to this quiz. In four European countries at least a tenth of the population play golf, but one of these four countries does not get into the top 10 for most golf courses.
The R&A, the governing body for golf in Europe, notes that “Europe has many countries with a relatively high concentration of golf courses.” However the European country with the most courses only comes fourth in the world for the number of golf courses.
