Golf course
Since the Dhaka Club requested 25 acres of land in the Suhrawardy Udyan for a golf course I have not seen anyone ask the common sense question: "How many acres as a minimum does it take to make a golf course?" I asked the Internet and got this answer: "If it's a par 36, nine hole course, you are going to be looking at at least 75 acres. If it's an "executive " par 3 course, you will be looking at at least 40-50 acres, depending on hole length." So the only kind of course that 25 acres would accommodate would be a "Pee-wee golf course," a common entertainment in the USA even for people who have never golfed before.
