Researchers say the 10 countries with the most golf courses could install up to 842 GW of utility-scale solar or 659 GW of wind capacity on land equivalent in size to that used for the sport.
Grass may be green, but I wouldn’t call a golf course a ‘green space’. Between the amount of pesticide and fertilizer they use, and the fact that it’s a monoculture, a golf course is pretty much an ecological dead zone.
Meh. At least it’s green space and not a strip mall or a parking lot.

Plus the amount of water to keep nonative English grass on American soil green makes it even woese than a strip mall
Aren’t most golf courses using non potable/recaptured water these days?
It’s still fresh water not bring treated and when you have rivers at record lows every oz you can get is worth it
it’s a private greenspace of minimal social, communal, or economic value. it’s a high maintenance monoculture play ground for the very wealthy
