How many PGA Tour events are on Municipal golf courses? How many NFL, NBA, MLB teams play in non taxpayer funded facilities?

Actually, private golf clubs are often among the most heavily-subsidized professional "sports" venues around. Find your nearest private country club and do some research at the local municipal building on their property tax records. Many of these places pay property taxes that are comparable to farms or other agricultural land uses. I also seem to remember a story in the last few years about country clubs that get special tax exemptions as "natural preservation areas," too.

The nearest private club to me is Prestonwood Country Club. In the past 2 decades it has gone from a goat track of a piece of crap course, to a private country club with 54 holes, and several hundred million dollars worth of homes, paying many millions in property taxes.
