Interesting perspective. Never thought about what happens to failed golf courses. I usually think of them as land which is usually bought by a developer which may or may not turn it into land which may or may not be successfully developed over time. (i.e. housing developments, shopping malls, etc)

That's what I would have thought as well.

Thanks for your comment, Scott. The NYT article explores that as well. Have a great week!

What an interesting article! I live within an hour's drive of the featured San Geronimo Commons and didn't know this had happened. Makes me want to stop in and see it one of these days. Thanks for this hopeful piece, Manuel.

It’s all for profit not beauty that golf courses are made by the rich. It’s good the land has been preserved, but it’s used by a minority compared to how it could be used for green spaces like they do in Europe and the UK.
