I don't play golf, and don't like that they use up so much land as pay-for-access. At the same time, there is value to cities to have green spaces, such as rain absorption, carbon capture, reduction of UHI, and beautification. Perhaps some trade off that applies a value for this can be considered.

I'd rather they just all be public parks, but as we saw in Harvest Hills, that doesn't seem like it flies. Also, each course and situation is unique. As we saw with the Highland Park ex-course, not all land is develop-able, or should be, given the benefits previously descirbed..
