Here is the source of your quote http://www.econlib.org/library/Smith/smMS4.html#IV.I.10 http://www.econlib.org/library/Smith/smMS4.html#IV.I.10 Evidently, Smith was unfamiliar with golf courses. I see the whole paragraph (of your quote) as being even more detached from today's reality than his oft-cited quote regarding famine and government.
