Abstract/Contents:Discusses trends in municipal golf courses, stating that "from 2000 to 2002, muni golf in the United States declined at the rate of one closure or sell-off every two weeks." Also discusses the relationship between municipal golf courses and private golf courses, suggesting that "there was a time when it made sense for cities and countries to build golf courses because the game was basically limited to private clubs and average people needed a playing opportunity...muni golf had a nice then - now it serves no useful purpose." Mentions the development of the City of Carlsbad, California's municipal golf course. Discusses potential disadvantages to municipal golf course construction.
