This paper analyzes the dynamics of the development of golf infrastructure by the federal districts and outlines the most popular championships and tournaments hosted by the Russian cities. This data allowed identifying the most promising local destinations for golf tourism. At the moment, the largest local golf centres are the city of Moscow, Moscow and Leningrad Regions, the Republic of Tatarstan and the Krasnoyarsk territory. The Krasnodar territory also has a good perspective to become one of the leading destinations for golf tourism in the nearest future.

This is due to the poor promotion of golf as a sport and leisure activity among the Russian population. However, there is a strong potential for the development of domestic and inbound golf tourism.
