Summary of Significant Accounti

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	3 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Acushnet Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries and less than wholly-owned subsidiaries, including a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements has been condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and U.S. GAAP. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements; however, the accompanying interim notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021, nor were those of the comparable 2020 period representative of those actually experienced for the full year ended December 31, 2020. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021. Risks and Uncertainties In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic related to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which led to government-ordered shutdowns of non-essential businesses, travel restrictions and restrictions on public gatherings. As a result of the government-ordered shutdowns, the Company was forced to temporarily close or substantially limit operations in its manufacturing facilities and distribution centers in the United States and Europe from mid-March 2020 through mid-May 2020, which disrupted business to varying degrees across many regions. The Company's manufacturing facilities and distribution centers reopened in mid-May 2020 and substantially all golf courses, on-course retail pro shops and off-course retail partner locations in the United States and Europe reopened by June 2020. The game of golf experienced a surge in rounds of play around the world primarily during the second half of 2020, in part due to its outdoor field of play and ease of social distancing, and rounds of play remained high through the first quarter of 2021. While government-ordered shutdowns and restrictions have eased in most regions and mass vaccination programs are underway, it is nevertheless possible that a resurgence of positive cases could prompt a return to tighter restrictions in certain regions, as with the lockdown in the United Kingdom during the first quarter of 2021. While the Company has seen increased rounds of play and demand for golf and golf-related products, as mass vaccinations programs advance and restrictions are further eased on other activities, the increase in rounds of play and demand for golf-related products could decrease. The Company has evaluated and continues to evaluate the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its consolidated financial statements. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, and both the full impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic remain highly uncertain. Accordingly, the Company's business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be materially impacted in ways that the Company cannot currently predict. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company has also made estimates related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic within its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Variable Interest Entities VIEs are entities that, by design, either (i) lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities independently, or (ii) have equity holders that do not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, the obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses, or the right to receive the entity’s expected residual returns. The Company consolidates a VIE when it is the primary beneficiary, which is the party that has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) through its interests in the VIE, the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive expected benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates the accounts of Acushnet Lionscore Limited, a VIE which is 40% owned by the Company. The sole purpose of the VIE is to manufacture the Company’s golf footwear and as such, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company has presented separately on its consolidated balance sheets, to the extent material, the assets of its consolidated VIE that can only be used to settle specific obligations of its consolidated VIE and the liabilities of its consolidated VIE for which creditors do not have recourse to its general credit. The general creditors of the VIE do not have recourse to the Company. Certain directors of the VIE have guaranteed the credit lines of the VIE, for which there were no outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the agreement governing the VIE, the Company is not required to provide financial support to the VIE. Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest The ownership interests held by owners other than the Company in less than wholly-owned subsidiaries are classified as noncontrolling interests. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are those noncontrolling interests which are or may become redeemable at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, at the option of the holder, or upon occurrence of an event. The financial results and position of the noncontrolling interests are included in their entirety in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The value attributable to the noncontrolling interests is presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, separately from the equity attributable to the Company. The value attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest and the related loan to the minority shareholders, which is recorded as a reduction to redeemable noncontrolling interest, is presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as temporary equity between liabilities and shareholders’ equity. The amount of the loan to minority shareholders included in temporary equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was $4.4 million as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, respectively. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash held in Company checking accounts is included in cash. Cash equivalents consist of short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less which are readily convertible into cash. The Company classifies as restricted certain cash that is not available for use in its operations. As of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amount of restricted cash included in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was $2.0 million. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions Foreign currency transaction losses included in selling, general and administrative expense were $1.0 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Income Taxes On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" ("ASU 2019-12"). The amendments in this update simplified the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improved consistent application and simplified U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt and Financing Arrangements	Debt and Financing Arrangements Credit Facility The credit facility includes a revolving credit facility and a term loan facility. There were outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $15.9 million as of March 31, 2021. The weighted average interest rate applicable to these outstanding borrowings was 1.79% as of March 31, 2021. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had available borrowings under its revolving credit facility of $376.0 million after giving effect to $8.1 million of outstanding letters of credit. On July 3, 2020, the Company amended its credit agreement dated December 23, 2019 (the “First Amendment”) to, among other things, modify the maximum net average total leverage ratio, the interest rate margins, commitment fee and covenant baskets for each of the fiscal quarters ending after June 30, 2020 and on or before September 30, 2021 (the “Covenant Relief Period”). On March 5, 2021, the Company issued a notice exercising its right to an early termination of the Covenant Relief Period and as such is now required to comply with the previous maximum net average total leverage ratio, and the interest rate margins, commitment fee and covenant baskets reverted to the levels in effect prior to the First Amendment as discussed below. In connection with terminating the Covenant Relief Period, the Company recorded additional interest expense of approximately $0.7 million related to the acceleration of unamortized debt issuance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the applicable Borrower’s option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime rate of Wells Fargo, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (3) a Eurodollar Rate, subject to certain adjustments, plus 1.00% or (b) a Eurodollar Rate (or, in the case of Canadian borrowings, a Canadian Dollar Offered Rate), subject to certain adjustments, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Under the credit agreement, the applicable margin is 0% to 0.75% for base rate borrowings and 1.00% to 1.75% for Eurodollar rate or Canadian Dollar Offered Rate borrowings, in each case, depending on the Net Average Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement). In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on any unutilized commitments under the revolving credit facility. The commitment fee rate payable in respect of unused portions of the revolving credit facility is 0.15% to 0.30% per annum, depending on the Net Average Total Leverage Ratio. The initial commitment fee rate is 0.20% per annum. The maximum net average total leverage ratio under the credit facility is 3.50 to 1.00, which is subject to increase to 3.75 to 1.00 in connection with certain acquisitions, and the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) is 3.00 to 1.00. The credit agreement contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants, including, among others, financial covenants based on the Company's leverage and interest coverage ratios. The credit agreement also includes customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations to be immediately due and payable. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement. Other Short-Term Borrowings The Company has certain unsecured local credit facilities available through its subsidiaries. There were outstanding borrowings under the Company's local credit facilities of $8.8 million and $2.8 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The weighted average interest rate applicable to the outstanding borrowings was 0.28% and 2.00% as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had available borrowings remaining under these local credit facilities of $50.3 million. Letters of Credit

Derivative Financial Instrument

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial InstrumentsThe Company principally uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and interest rate variability on the Company's results of operations. The principal derivative financial instruments the Company enters into are foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instrument contracts for trading or speculative purposes. Foreign Exchange Derivative Instruments Foreign exchange forward contracts are foreign exchange derivative instruments primarily used to reduce foreign currency risk related to transactions denominated in a currency other than functional currency. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. The periods of the foreign exchange forward contracts correspond to the periods of the hedged forecasted transactions, which do not exceed 24 months subsequent to the latest balance sheet date. The primary foreign exchange forward contracts pertain to the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, the Korean won and the euro. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount outstanding of all foreign exchange forward contracts designated under hedge accounting as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $219.0 million and $248.1 million, respectively. As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company de-designated certain foreign exchange cash flow hedges deemed ineffective, none of which were outstanding as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. The Company also enters into foreign exchange forward contracts, which do not qualify as hedging instruments, to reduce foreign currency transaction risk related to certain intercompany assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than functional currency. These undesignated instruments are recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability with the corresponding change in fair value recognized in selling, general and administrative expense. There were no outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts not designated under hedge accounting as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Interest Rate Derivative Instruments The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts to reduce interest rate risk related to floating rate debt. Under the contracts, the Company pays fixed and receives variable rate interest, in effect converting a portion of its floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. The interest rate swap contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the notional value of the Company's outstanding interest rate swap contracts was $140.0 million. Impact on Financial Statements The fair value of hedge instruments recognized on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was as follows: (in thousands) March 31, December 31, Balance Sheet Location Hedge Instrument Type 2021 2020 Prepaid and other assets Foreign exchange forward $ 3,476 $ 1,166 Other assets Foreign exchange forward 1,225 30 Accrued expenses and other liabilities Foreign exchange forward 3,929 6,400 Interest rate swap 621 1,571 Other noncurrent liabilities Foreign exchange forward 92 985 The hedge instrument gain (loss) recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax was as follows: Three months ended March 31, (in thousands) 2021 2020 Type of hedge Foreign exchange forward $ 4,376 $ 9,467 Interest rate swap (9) (2,065) Total $ 4,367 $ 7,402 Gains and losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax at the time the forecasted hedged transaction impacts the statements of operations or at the time the hedge is determined to be ineffective. Based on the current valuation, during the next 12 months the Company expects to reclassify a net loss of $3.2 million related to foreign exchange derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, into cost of goods sold and a net loss of $0.6 million related to interest rate derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax into interest expense, net. For further information related to amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, see Note 12. The hedge instrument gain (loss) recognized on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations was as follows: Three months ended March 31, (in thousands) 2021 2020 Location of gain (loss) in statement of operations Foreign exchange forward: Cost of goods sold $ 396 $ 1,542 Selling, general and administrative (1)(2) 640 1,534 Total $ 1,036 $ 3,076 Interest Rate Swap: Interest expense, net $ (959) $ (478) Total $ (959) $ (478) _______________________________________________________________________________ (1) Relates to net gains (losses) on foreign exchange forward contracts derived from previously designated cash flow hedges. (2) Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 excludes net gains of $0.7 million reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax related to hedges deemed ineffective. Credit Risk The Company enters into derivative contracts with major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings and is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by these financial institutions. This credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains in the derivative contracts. However, the Company monitors the credit quality of these financial institutions, as well as its own credit quality, and considers the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 were as follows: Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2021 using: (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Balance Sheet Location Assets Rabbi trust $ 5,046 $ — $ — Prepaid and other assets Foreign exchange derivative instruments — 3,476 — Prepaid and other assets Deferred compensation program assets 803 — — Other assets Foreign exchange derivative instruments — 1,225 — Other assets Total assets $ 5,849 $ 4,701 $ — Liabilities Foreign exchange derivative instruments $ — $ 3,929 $ — Accrued expenses and other liabilities Interest rate derivative instruments — 621 — Accrued expenses and other liabilities Deferred compensation program liabilities 803 — — Other noncurrent liabilities Foreign exchange derivative instruments — 92 — Other noncurrent liabilities Total liabilities $ 803 $ 4,642 $ — Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 were as follows: Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2020 using: (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Balance Sheet Location Assets Rabbi trust $ 5,160 $ — $ — Prepaid and other assets Foreign exchange derivative instruments — 1,166 — Prepaid and other assets Deferred compensation program assets 802 — — Other assets Foreign exchange derivative instruments — 30 — Other assets Total assets $ 5,962 $ 1,196 $ — Liabilities Foreign exchange derivative instruments $ — $ 6,400 $ — Accrued expenses and other liabilities Interest rate derivative instruments — 1,571 — Accrued expenses and other liabilities Deferred compensation program liabilities 802 — — Other noncurrent liabilities Foreign exchange derivative instruments — 985 — Other noncurrent liabilities Total liabilities $ 802 $ 8,956 $ — Rabbi trust assets are used to fund certain retirement obligations of the Company. The assets underlying the Rabbi trust are equity and fixed income exchange-traded funds. Deferred compensation program assets and liabilities represent a program where select employees could defer compensation until termination of employment. Effective July 29, 2011, this program was amended to cease all employee compensation deferrals and provided for the distribution of all previously deferred employee compensation. The program remains in effect with respect to the value attributable to the employer match contributed prior to July 29, 2011. Foreign exchange derivative instruments are foreign exchange forward contracts primarily used to limit currency risk that would otherwise result from changes in foreign exchange rates (Note 6). The Company uses the mid-price of foreign exchange forward rates as of the close of business on the valuation date to value each foreign exchange forward contract at each reporting period. Interest rate derivative instruments are interest rate swap contracts used to reduce interest rate risk related to the Company's floating rate debt (Note 6). The valuation for the interest rate swap is calculated as the net of the discounted future cash flows of the pay and receive legs of the swap. Mid-market interest rates on the valuation date are used to create the forward curve for floating legs and discount curve.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income tax expense increased by $20.2 million to $27.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company’s effective tax rate ("ETR") was 24.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 46.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The ETR for the three months ended March 31, 2021 differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the U.S. taxation of foreign income and the geographic mix of income earned by the Company's international subsidiaries, partially offset by the impact of the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income and federal and state tax credits.

Share Repurchase Program As of March 31, 2021, the Board of Directors had authorized the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate of $100.0 million of its issued and outstanding common stock. In April 2020, the Company temporarily suspended stock repurchases under its share repurchase program in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2021, the Company resumed share repurchases under its share repurchase program. Share repurchases may be effected from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, including transactions with affiliates, with the timing of purchases and the amount of stock purchased generally determined at the discretion of the Company consistent with the Company's general working capital needs and within the constraints of the Company’s credit agreement. As previously disclosed, in connection with this share repurchase program, the Company entered into an agreement with Magnus Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Magnus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fila Holdings Corp., to purchase from Magnus an equal amount of its common stock as it purchases on the open market, up to an aggregate of $24.9 million, at the same weighted average per share price. The Company's share repurchase activity was as follows: Three months ended March 31, (in thousands, except share and per share amounts) 2021 2020 Shares repurchased in the open market: Shares repurchased 56,156 243,894 Average price $ 42.34 $ 28.60 Aggregate value $ 2,377 $ 6,976 In relation to the Magnus share repurchase agreement, the Company recorded a share repurchase liability of $11.1 million and $8.8 million for 355,341 and 299,894 shares of common stock to be repurchased from Magnus, which was included in accrued expenses and other liabilities and treasury stock on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Excluding the impact of the share repurchase liability, as of March 31, 2021, the Company had $61.3 million remaining under the current share repurchase authorization, including $11.1 million related to the Magnus share repurchase agreement. As the Company repurchased a cumulative total of $24.9 million of common stock through open market purchases, the determination date, as defined in the Magnus share repurchase agreement, was automatically triggered on March 18, 2021. As a result, on April 2, 2021, the Company repurchased from Magnus 355,341 shares of common stock for an aggregate $11.1 million. At the completion of this transaction, the Company no longer had an obligation to repurchase shares of common stock from Magnus.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Equity Incentive Plans	Equity Incentive Plans Under the Acushnet Holdings Corp. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”), the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance stock units ("PSUs") and other share-based and cash-based awards to members of the Board of Directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors of the Company. As of March 31, 2021, the only awards granted under the 2015 Plan were RSUs and PSUs. Restricted Stock and Performance Stock Units RSUs granted to members of the Board of Directors vest immediately into shares of common stock. RSUs granted to Company officers generally vest over three years, with one-third of each grant vesting annually, subject to the recipient's continued employment with the Company. RSUs granted to other employees, consultants and advisors of the Company vest in accordance with the terms of the grants, generally over three years, subject to the recipient’s continued service to the Company. PSUs vest, subject to the recipient's continued employment with the Company, based upon the Company's performance against specified metrics which are generally over a three year performance period. At the end of the performance period, the number of shares of common stock that could be issued is determined based upon the Company's performance against these metrics. The number of shares that could be issued can range from 0% to 200% of the recipient's target award. Recipients of the awards granted under the 2015 Plan may elect to defer receipt of all or any portion of any shares of common stock issuable upon vesting to a future date elected by the recipient. All RSUs and PSUs granted under the 2015 Plan have DERs, which entitle holders of RSUs and PSUs to the same dividend value per share as holders of common stock and can be paid in either cash or common stock. DERs are subject to the same vesting and other terms and conditions as the corresponding unvested RSUs and PSUs. DERs are paid when the underlying shares of common stock are delivered.

During both the second half of 2020 and the three months ended March 31, 2021, based on updated forecast information, the Company increased the estimate of its performance against metrics for these PSUs and recognized additional cumulative share-based compensation expense in both periods. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs and unvested PSUs was $23.4 million and $13.0 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2021 and is expected to be recognized over the related weighted average period of 2.3 years and 2.2 years, respectively.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information The Company’s operating segments are based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) makes decisions about assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company has four reportable segments that are organized on the basis of product categories. These segments include Titleist golf balls, Titleist golf clubs, Titleist golf gear and FootJoy golf wear. The CODM primarily evaluates performance using segment operating income (loss). Segment operating income (loss) includes directly attributable expenses and certain shared costs of corporate administration that are allocated to the reportable segments, but excludes interest expense, net, restructuring charges, the non-service cost component of net periodic benefit cost, transaction fees and other non-operating gains and losses as the Company does not allocate these to the reportable segments. The CODM does not evaluate a measure of assets when assessing performance. Results shown for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are not necessarily those which would be achieved if each segment was an unaffiliated business enterprise. There are no intersegment transactions.

Restructuring Charges	Restructuring Charges During the first quarter of 2020, management approved a restructuring program to refine its business model and improve operational efficiencies. This program included both a voluntary bridge to retirement ("VBR") program for certain eligible employees and involuntary headcount reductions ("Other"). The VBR program was part of the Company's long-term strategic planning process and was designed to bridge eligible employees to retirement. As part of this program, employees were offered severance in the form of salary continuation, including benefits, as well as accrued bonus incentives. Costs associated with the involuntary headcount reductions include severance and other benefits related to these headcount reductions. The Company recorded cumulative severance and other benefits expense of $11.2 million related to its VBR program and $2.0 million related to its Other restructuring program, of which $11.2 million and $0.4 million was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020 related to the VBR program and Other program, respectively.

Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Acushnet Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries and less than wholly-owned subsidiaries, including a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company has also made estimates related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic within its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Variable Interest Entities	Variable Interest Entities VIEs are entities that, by design, either (i) lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities independently, or (ii) have equity holders that do not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, the obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses, or the right to receive the entity’s expected residual returns. The Company consolidates a VIE when it is the primary beneficiary, which is the party that has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) through its interests in the VIE, the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive expected benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates the accounts of Acushnet Lionscore Limited, a VIE which is 40% owned by the Company. The sole purpose of the VIE is to manufacture the Company’s golf footwear and as such, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company has presented separately on its consolidated balance sheets, to the extent material, the assets of its consolidated VIE that can only be used to settle specific obligations of its consolidated VIE and the liabilities of its consolidated VIE for which creditors do not have recourse to its general credit. The general creditors of the VIE do not have recourse to the Company. Certain directors of the VIE have guaranteed the credit lines of the VIE, for which there were no outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the agreement governing the VIE, the Company is not required to provide financial support to the VIE.
Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest	Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest The ownership interests held by owners other than the Company in less than wholly-owned subsidiaries are classified as noncontrolling interests. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are those noncontrolling interests which are or may become redeemable at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, at the option of the holder, or upon occurrence of an event. The financial results and position of the noncontrolling interests are included in their entirety in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The value attributable to the noncontrolling interests is presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, separately from the equity attributable to the Company. The value attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest and the related loan to the minority shareholders, which is recorded as a reduction to redeemable noncontrolling interest, is presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as temporary equity between liabilities and shareholders’ equity. The amount of the loan to minority shareholders included in temporary equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was $4.4 million as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, respectively.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted CashCash held in Company checking accounts is included in cash. Cash equivalents consist of short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less which are readily convertible into cash. The Company classifies as restricted certain cash that is not available for use in its operations.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions	Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions Foreign currency transaction losses included in selling, general and administrative expense were $1.0 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Income Taxes On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" ("ASU 2019-12"). The amendments in this update simplified the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improved consistent application and simplified U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Accounts Receivable	The Company estimates expected credit losses using a number of factors, including customer credit ratings, age of receivables, historical credit loss information and current and forecasted economic conditions (including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic) which could affect the collectability of the reported amounts. All of these factors have been considered in the estimate of expected credit losses.
