“amazing for the environment”

Probably because fields of grass are better than housing development? Which for the environment, is technically true

As though those are the only two options…

oh basically just that it’s curated green space and that’s better or something.

That’s almost worth comparing, if the resources and human effort needed to maintain a golf course, plus any other positive or negative environmental impacts, are favorable to the effects of a parking lot or whatever. But I imagine that, either way, a proper public park would be way better.

I mean it’s like anything, you can argue either way. Depending on how the grounds are kept it could be a net positive or a negative. But a lot of golf courses are massive polluter because they use resource-intensive grasses and lots of fertilizers and water to keep it alive. There are more eco-friendly ways to manage a golf course but those are not popular because they cost more and golfers don’t like scrub grasses
