Also what is the capitol cost to stand up a golf course vs. a solar farm of equal size? I would imagine solar requires locking up a much larger investment.

For PV, land will be a very small fraction of that capex.
Yeah; golf course land tends to be in places with high property values.

If we normalize by $ instead of by acre, the hypothetical golf course conversion would produce >> 10% of land requirements.
