Mini golf and bowling alleys. Regular golf should be abolished but we should keep driving ranges.
My hottest take is that I think those "zero maintenance" links golf courses that use no pesticides, no additional water but what comes from rainfall, and require only minimal and occasional groundskeeping can stay.
I read about a golf course in Scotland that is just the untouched natural environment, but they took a postholer and put some holes in the ground, and stuck some flags in those holes. That's it, that and a map is the whole course. No carts, no bullshit. Walk along some dunes and hit a ball with a stick.
Sounds a lot like a disc golf course.
Disc golf courses have a lot in common with both municipal courses and old school Links courses, which makes sense given that they're most commonly in public parks, and are best laid out in more natural environments rather than the highly constructed "green concrete" environment of a modern golf course.
