Because Golf Courses are usually built in low cost locations in high cost areas. Like flood plains. There’s only so many things you can reasonably build in flood plains, golf courses are one of them. Have you ever noticed that golf courses are often next to lakes and rivers?
Also, what is with the European need to optimize every square inch of land? Y’all still have abandoned buildings!
A public park is government funded. A flood plain is expensive to maintain. Better to just let someone else deal with it.
Remember that local governments only have so much budget, and it’s shared between many things. You can’t just spend money on everything, somethings got to give

Can leave it as a public park instead of a private endeavor that the public can’t access.
Disc golf courses are awesome use for that land, and anyone can play for free, there’s no upkeep.

We also have fucking roofs.
I don’t think you understand what a flood is. A flood comes from underneath and the sides. I think you’re thinking of rain, which causes floods.
You’re misinterpreting my comment.
We dont need to optimize for every square inch with solar since we also have roofs we can put solar on.
