With all due respect to golfers, there should be 1 publicly owned course in the central city, either Victoria or Riverside. That's it. Having four and two exclusive clubs is too much and is such an inefficient use of land that could serve various different and better purposes. Here's a few I can think of off the top of my head:
Expanded Parks: Parks don't generate direct revenue, sure, but there are plenty of knock-on benefits from having more capacity for people to meet in nature in a growing and densifying city.
Nature Reserves: One direction, you could create refuges and preserve wildlife and ecosystems in the river valley
Development: In the other direction, in a city-centre course (such as Victoria) a waterfront area with promenades, mixed-use (but ecologically conscious) development, and potentially a new funicular could be made to create an area which many people can access and experience.
