As mentioned earlier, golf is usually considered to be a sport for the elite. You wouldn’t be amiss imagining the mayor of a major city enjoying a round of golf with his rich, retired friends on a nice, sunny weekend. This may be because of how advertisers mention a golf course whenever a new luxury residential scheme is being introduced.

This has even been espoused by 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump, who stated that golf should remain a sport for the elite. Of course, one reason for that is that golf courses are really expensive to build, and can cost over a $100 million to build, which is why rounds can be pretty expensive for people. It is logical to assume that huge baseball stadiums, as evidenced in 11 most expensive baseball stadiums ever built, would cost hundreds of millions, but a patch of grass filled with holes?
