    “good” courses exist. They are just quite rare

    In my area there are at least 2 courses that have very reasonable member fees (not more than other sports clubs) where things like golf clubs and balls renting is included if you need them. Plus all kinds of free weekends

    They are also not targeted to rich snobs. So you can actually meet people there without being looked down upon

    As for the course itself: they are located in area that are not really suitable for things like apartment development etc. And they take care of the more wild parts of nature (making sure that some area are completely off limits during nesting season due example)

    Does it have an impact compared to it not being there? Sure. But they do a lot for the surrounding, and it gets people into nature that otherwise probably wouldn’t

    All the courses in the middle of cities or climates that don’t naturally support a course can go fuck themselves, though
