Nobody with children can justify 3 hours to play a round
on a regular basis -- at least nobody my age and younger.
And the land for the courses is a ripe target for developers.

buy a golf course in Lawrence and relocate to new buildings etc.
This was about 10 or 15 years ago. It almost happened...
Students & alumnae got cranky.
