Message: [QUOTE="j66kicker, post: 2470891, member: 4447"] I suspect Golf Digest has an incentive to present the statistics in as favorable light as they can. This article quotes a study that indicates the number is US courses is down 700 from its peak, and the number of new courses now under development is at an all-time low. [URL="http://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/12461331/number-us-golf-courses-steady-decline-says-report"]Study: Number of U.S. golf courses declining[/URL] This trend is certainly affecting my Phoenix suburb, where there are ongoing legal battles between HOA’s with golf course covenants and the owners who are closing the golf courses. The owners are saying, “If you want the course to stay open, then play it.” [/QUOTE]
