Skip to 5:44 for the actual bit on golf courses. He explains that there are over 17,000 golf courses in the USA, each averaging ~150 acres, all combined total a land area of about ~4820 square miles, which is enough land to make up 2 Rhode Islands and a Delaware!

I seriously doubt that land use approaches those numbers today. I've seen courses close over the last decades, have seen none built.

True that, I've seen at least one golf course closed that's like 10 miles north of us. Do note that I'm not a golfer..

Anyways, all the more reason to open the land up to the unhoused/houseless!
