Interesting. I could totally see what you are saying being true throughout Europe. It might just be that golfers won’t accept the kind of courses we have here. Might consider them uncouth or something.
In the US we often get this impression of Europe as old world traditionalists. Early education and media do that. I assume it isn’t actually true of the majority of Europeans. But maybe golfers skew that way in Germany?
Golf is a Kind of expensive hobby around here, or at least it’s considered expensive. This makes golf an elite hobby and people with money tend to care about optics. Sadly.
That tracks. In most of the US it is a lot less expensive then it is perceived. 18 holes can be played for as little as $20. Though usually more like 30 or 40 if near an urban area. And clubs are easy to come by used at great prices.
