Not I. In my part of the world, they break up the agriculture and
give one the excuse to plant a tree that is not a silver maple or a
red oak. One of my relatives from Hawaii always brings his clubs when
he visits because the greens fees are trivial compared to Oahu.
And most golf courses are well-maintained, beautiful, and deliberate.
That's rare for humans.
