[quote=Anonymous]There are almost NO environmental benefits to a golf course. The only thing they offer that an asphalt parking lot doesn’t is a moderate reduction in surface water run off. Other than that, they are ecological wastelands, devoid of an insect community and pollinators, small animals, reptiles and amphibians, and most birdlife. Even the water hazards, which should be oasises of life, are typically dead zones devoid of fish and other life because of fertilizer run off and aquatic herbicides to kill algae blooms from excess nitrates from the grass fertilizer. That is the reality of a golf course. A green, attractive, toxic desert, that requires far more water than an equivalent meadow or forest. They really are disgusting [/quote]
