I’m a believer in the open market. In my area, industrial, commercial, retail and residential developments are effecting recreational land values prompting land owners to let’s say, consider other sources of revenue like selling off their property assets.
I’ll put it this way. If those in T-Shirts, Cut-Offs and Flip Flops are enjoying and routinely patronizing my local course, making it a viable business in lieu of (any) other type of real estate development, then so be it.
Also in the spirit of the open market, if another facility believes an appropriate dress code for their targeted market suits their business model the best, again so be it.
Truthfully I’m rooting for the latter over the former!
