How excited would golfers in the Metro NY area be if this statement were true? After a recent trip, I was struck at just how poor public golf is in an area infamous for its golf course architecture. I chose Bayonne as an example of what would no doubt be considered the number 1 or number 2 best public course in the metro NY area. If in fact Bayonne was developed as a public course, how long would it take (and at what green fee) to make the project at least the financial equal of the current private model, with its estimated $250K initiation and $20K per year dues? As a public facility, could it ever make more money? How much would NY area golfers pay to play a world class (and extremely fun) course?
