Just a couple of reasons off the top of my head that you want golfers on a golf course.
Spectators are allowed on TV courses. They do not take up a tee time and should generally remain near the bag of the person they are accompanying for safety reasons. If they are riding, they will be charged a trail fee. My spouse has walked/caddied executive courses with me and it has never been a problem.
