Then you get stuck with what to do with it that could additionally appease people whose property values suddenly plummeted. I hope this is planned well.

Golfing is a dying activity generally. Its too expensive for what it is and has lots of courses private and public have close dup because they cant maintain their properties and TBH the land is more valuable as redevelopment.
Its actually quite a crazy situations because due to the zoning, and agreements that had these courses built in the first place cities can force a company to keep it a golf course so courses have turned to letting the plants die so the community demands something be done.
basically like most of our problems its because of crazy laws and promises made decades ago with no regard for weather this makes sense long term coming to back to bite ...well the grandkids of those who made the promises in the first place.
