I'd just like to say that I enjoyed reading this thread, especially the posts between apechild and wilbjammin. I'm completely unqualified to talk intelligently about this subject in the general sense, so it's fun to read the arguments of those who are.

In this specific case though, as much as I love a good golf course, I have to disagree. This sort of thing isn't distinct to this one town though, I read a year or so ago, in the atlantic I think, about a town doing the same thing up in New York, I believe. The logic of the town was that a golf course and surrounding houses bring in much needed development to dying communities.

I'd suggest to the owner he find some endangered species nesting ground on his property, ASAP.
