Of course - both private and public. There was a trend of fewer rounds being played even before the economy took a nosedive - fewer golfers and a lot of new courses being built. I think the whole industry will come out of this in a much healthier position.

I haven't seen any course closures here, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some soon. It appears they are all hurting and willing to sell rounds at very low prices just to generate revenue. Surprisingly, the city munis seem to be weathering the storm better than the upscale courses. I believe a lot of the "snowbird" rounds that would have gone to the upscale courses last fall flowed to the city because of their lower rates.
