After all, the land is a lot more valuable as a building site - than for golf holes.
I saw them do that to a nice golf course in Myrtle Beach. Closed it and put up apartments. People that paid premium dollars for golf course sites were now looking at apartments. Fortunately, like GG said, Morse's aren't going to let that happen. Everyone would be afraid to buy here then and that would be shooting themselves in the foot.
