As much as it pains me to say it, "executive type golf courses" for novice-recreational golf, is the future.
The future of "real golf" is right here:

It won't happen over night, but I suspect in 15-20 years, building golf courses will be as obsolete as root beer & running boards. |
Screw that, it’s not golf. Much of golf is about being outdoors, breathing fresh air, compensating for the wind, smelling fresh cut grass, seeing wildlife, dealing with Mother Nature’s elements, reading the direction of the grasses growth on the greens during different times of the day and the suns angle, dressing appropriately for the weather conditions, getting some beautiful sun rays, etc….
The true essence of golf is not a sport that can be simulated in a video game. If that’s the future of the sport, hopefully it won’t happen until I’m no longer around to see it.
