I agree with you that just throwing more money into it might not be an effective answer. What we do know is that some courses are good, some are bad, and the climate is the same for all. And a bigger point I'm presenting is that whether or not you actually play golf, you have a vested interest in the condition of the courses.

IMO 90% time it maintenance failure, lack of, or management problem. Which we have no control over. I agree we are not getting or money worth invested. Again that points directly to management.
They get paid same whether they do good job or bad. I still say buck stops at top, whether that be at rec center, district, or main person in charge. It’s same all activities, some (not all) are below standards due to that rec center personnel. Some times it contractors fault also which IMO usually not monitored enough to see if the are doing good job or doing it at all?
I use to play League billiards at certain rec center the table were disgusting dirty and chalk was in bedded in rails and cloth which turns them green in grain. When I brush sweep the table due to chunks of fine chalk on cloth so ball had half way chance going straight I created up dust storm. My hands was green from all chalk dust in table cloth after play every time (kind of like golfers not repair divots)(pool players grinding chalking tips over the table creating most of problems) So, it’s not just golf. Yes sometimes complaining (several) does eliminate a problem for awhile. At that rec center it just came right back after the one time contracted cleaning. The condition of tables disguised me so much I quit.
