Why do you think that? People like to golf and this particular facility (along with Doon Valley) is able to offer cheap golf to citizens as opposed to "elite" private clubs that are in the suburbs or way outside the city limits and require a car to get to. There is more than enough low density industrial, commercial and office land surrounding Mill Station that can can easily be developed without destroying a prized recreational facility. Getting rid of the golf course would make as much sense as getting rid of parks and green spaces people enjoy. Not many cities can say they have a publicly owned golf course 2.5 kilometers from the heart of downtown and located next to a rapid transit stop.
