    On the other side of things, golf courses take immense amounts of water, and earned its reputation as a rich person’s sport. While there may be some more affordable courses, it’s more often expensive and takes that green space away from the public to be sequestered to the wealthy.

      Well, golf courses in california or arizona are to me criminal. Because of the water use. And golf courses in the middle of cities are deeply irresponsible land use. And yeah, I’d like more public land and more intermingling between the wealthy and the poor. But I suppose I’ve seen some responsible golf courses. I know of one that doesn’t even have or need sprinklers.
