To be completely fair, the golf course is paid through non-appropriated funds (NAF) which means a stoppage in federal funds doesn't affect golf course operations. The commissary is run by DECA which has officials paid for through appropriated funds. A more appropriate analogy and complaint is that private inns and open air parks are being shuttered around the country and people being evicted from their homes because they sit on or are accessed through national park lands while the president can still go golfing despite its sitting on federal property.
