      Debatable. Depending on the golf course location and management, there could be an argument for them at least providing some space for biodiversity.

      Tobacco doesn’t produce as much of use, but also doesn’t come with the same methane emissions, or slurry runoff.

        Which golf course isn’t an artificial mix of sand, roads and monoculture full of pesticides? I would guess they also have traps against wildlife that may damage their perfect loan.

          I was definitely thinking of a hypothetical golf course; I’m not under any illusions that the vast majority are biodiversity deserts.
