Really, golf courses are taxed much lower usually, as they go as green open spaces (similar to protected forest areas), and also their assessed land value does not account for neighboring residential prices, so their tax is based on lower value than land can be sold at.
That does not seem allright. A forest has lot's of ecodiversity, but a low cut golf course?
But sure, it is still green and somewhat alive.
Plus the golf courses around me are often municipal, they've got some nice bike paths to cut through the urban landscape around and through the links. It's a much nicer ride than along busy streets.
That said I do tend to enjoy disc golf more than traditional golf. I have never had too good of a shot.
A city park and playground? Only for the rich, you need to be rich to have the spare time to do it.
A public swimming pool? Only for the rich, you need to be rich to have the spare time to do it.
A public baseball/softball/soccer field? Only for the rich, you need to be rich to have the spare time to do it.
An activity center with some basketball and tennis courts? Only for the rich, you need to be rich to have the spare time to do it.
Jogging trails through the woods? Only for the rich, you need to be rich to have the spare time to do it.
Picnic tables in a field? Who has the time to take their food out some place to eat it? Clearly only rich people with too much time on their hands.
How long do people normally spend at a public pool? How long will people spend playing basketball or tennis or baseball? How long is a soccer game usually? About a couple of hours?
