I think the "lack of interest in golf" for the new retirees is a fallacy. If you read this site, there are more than a few people who are complaining about the lack of golf courses in the Southern areas.

Pickleball courts have be a focus for years. They are not adding more per capita. Pretty much every single rec center has them. But in some areas (like Richmond) they built pickleball courts with no attached rec center (which makes me scratch my head, since it seems like that area is lacking in the rec center department...)
