If you search "public golf courses not making money" in Google News, you will get a list of results with recent articles written from places like St. Louis to Cleveland to Tampa about how public golf courses have really taken a hit financially.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution has a piece running today on courses in the city of Atlanta.
