imo the golf resources should be concentrated into Palmer Park, to make one good golf course. In terms of accessibility, if you're in a car it doesn't take much longer to drive to Palmer Park, and if you're dependent on public transportation, both 7 Mile and Woodward are major bus routes. Most Detroiters could get there with one or zero transfers. I don't think golf is so important that we need to maintain a city wide golf system.
