I work in forestry. We got several courses round here and they are all the way you described as high class. We don’t get any low end places like you describe here.
Where do you live? My experiences are in NY and Oregon. We have a few places like you describe. But the vast majority are mom and pop courses where they carve out a little space for a hole and leave the rest untouched. The on closest to me is surrounded by houses, so some of the trees they have are really old. Would have been cleared for housing if not for the course. So it is almost like an oasis for wildlife. Though obviously it is on the high end side for sure, it still preserves some natural space that acts as a way point for larger stuff moving through the area from the undeveloped land not too far by. Thier ecosystem isn't impressive, but still plenty of small stuff for the ducks that stop by continuously.
Germany.
Interesting. I could totally see what you are saying being true throughout Europe. It might just be that golfers won't accept the kind of courses we have here. Might consider them uncouth or something.
In the US we often get this impression of Europe as old world traditionalists. Early education and media do that. I assume it isn't actually true of the majority of Europeans. But maybe golfers skew that way in Germany?
Golf is a Kind of expensive hobby around here, or at least it’s considered expensive. This makes golf an elite hobby and people with money tend to care about optics. Sadly.
That tracks. In most of the US it is a lot less expensive then it is perceived. 18 holes can be played for as little as $20. Though usually more like 30 or 40 if near an urban area. And clubs are easy to come by used at great prices.
