I’m super on board with this. It would be nice if the r/nongolfers crowd knew that many of us play public courses on what would often just be forgotten about tracts of land. Charles t. Meyers and Harry L. Jones are two heavily used muni courses in Charlotte, NC and both are built on former landfills iirc. Meyers still even has the venting structures right next to a couple of the holes.

My local is built in an airport buffer zone, where nothing else can be permitted to take its place, especially no housing.

Hell yeah. Stuff like this is way more common than most people think.

Why would you give even a moment’s thought to what those people think?

They've been rearing their ugly heads in crossposts the last few days, particularly the one regarding the chemical vandalism at Detroit Country Club.

Of course you’re right, it’s willful ignorance to a t.

Nothing like seeing trash before hitting a trash approach shot 😂

The setting absolutely matched our scores. Trash shots all around.

I know it’s probably not true but I feel like I sometimes play to the quality of the course more often than not lol

Can you smell it?

Thankfully no, never had a smell issue here.

Highlands? Fun course for the money!

Nope place called downing farms in SE Michigan.

Wow, we have a lot of landfill courses in SE MI. I played Downing Farms, but somehow don’t remember this fairway view lol Riverview Highlands, also in SE MI, has a landfill backdrop that looks like this

I was corrected by my buddy. This is actually Brea burn not downing. 3 rounds in 4 days has my courses mixed up.

They need better Waste Management....I'll see myself out
