Can Macrae Heppler's bold proposal for three six-hole courses at St George Golf Club revolutionize the game of golf and make it more accessible to busy individuals and families? Join us as we explore the innovative concept that promises a quick 60-minute round of golf, potentially transforming the sport's accessibility and appeal. We also take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the history of golf in Southern Utah and discussing the city's pivotal role in establishing and maintaining these green spaces. From the development of Dixie Red Hills in the mid-1960s to the impact of major infrastructure developments, we cover it all.

As the debate heats up, we delve into the contentious issue of city-owned versus privately-owned golf courses. We weigh the economic and social benefits of city courses, which offer affordability and accessibility, against the higher costs and profit motives of private facilities. Our discussion extends to the broader responsibilities of the city in managing public amenities, such as parks and golf courses, and the significant water usage involved. We consider alternative uses for this precious resource and debate the merits of continued public investment versus privatization, with Macrae Heppler offering unique insights into these complex financial dynamics.

In our final discussion, we tackle the future of municipal golf course funding and its impact on community resources. We evaluate the financial costs against the broader benefits these courses provide in terms of community engagement, tourism, and quality of life. From the philosophical questions about government investment in non-revenue-generating amenities to the strategic planning necessary for sustainable growth, we cover the spectrum of opinions. Join us for a balanced and insightful conversation with Jeremy Larkin, Macrae Heppler and Robert MacFarlane as we navigate the intricate world of golf course management and its implications for the future of Southern Utah.
