In my experience, these types of courses (Red tee or easier) quickly become either abandoned, or overrun by shirtless barbarians, litterers, people getting retarded drunk and loud, and generally full of "folfers" with no etiquette (throwing on people, etc.) due to the absence of golfers that respect the course and the game. I know all public courses have the latter set of problems to some degree, but I mean to a noticeably higher degree than more challenging courses that have a more experienced user base.
I'm not talking about courses that are beginner friendly in the sense that they are easy to navigate and have alternate easy tees, but courses that are straight up built for rec type players.
Who here has a local short and/or beginner course(s) that has been successful for multiple years? What was the secret to the success there? Did it turn into a location that was very family friendly?
