In addition to the obvious human safety issues, unsafe/irresponsibly designed courses can really set things back at neighboring communities.
When decision makers hear about problems at a course in some neighboring community, it going make it a lot harder (or impossible) for someone to get more responsibly designed course put in somewhere else.
They're not going to consider that one designer created an unsafe design, while a proposed might be a great design that co-exists well with other park activities.
They're just going to hear/read about close calls (or worse) happening at XYZ Park, and think... "No, thank you. We don't need that happening here."
