More than 1200 golf courses have closed in USA since 2007. One study from the Sports & Fitness Industry Association suggests Millennials lack interest in golf. From East Coast to West Coast many courses are being replaced with housing developments and other more sustainable uses. Below are several past events that have addressed the issue of alternative use of or the repurposing of golf courses

Need land for parks and housing? There are plenty of useless golf courses to repurpose.  "We have land shortages in lots of our fast-growth cities and suburbs and we have an overabundance of golf courses.”  In Akron, Ohio, a former golf course is turning into a park and being replanted with native trees. In Kent, Washington, a new mixed-use apartment complex is under construction on another former golf course. Near Palm Springs, a golf course is becoming a mixed-use “agrihood” with 75 acres of olive groves that will be used to produce olive oil.

America’s Golf Courses Are Burning.  More than 800 golf courses have closed nationwide in the last decade, as operators grapple with declining interest in the sport and a glut of competition.

Could Placemaking Become the New Golf? Repurposing Obsolete Courses.  Once-flourishing fairways, greens, and clubhouses are being decommissioned all over the place, leaving communities with empty land, sometimes contaminated from years of intensive chemical applications designed to maintain greens and fairways in an artificially pristine condition. . . .  Read full report here

When Golf Course Closures are Driven by Higher and Better Uses

As supply and demand of golf courses continues to self-balance, some owners are taking advantage of the current real estate market—by choosing to sell.  From 1986 to 2005, USA golf industry experienced its largest building boom, as almost 5,000 new courses were opened within that time frame. Such exponential growth simply could not continue forever. As expected, openings have declined sharply over the past 12 years, with only 492 new courses opening since the boom ended. . Read full report here
