Actually, golf courses are unnatural, a monoculture of only one species of plant---usually a not-native grass--- and as such do not support anywhere close to the array of wild life---both animal and plant--- that can live in natural habitats. They require constant maintenance with herbicides, which destroy plants in surrounding areas, and fertilizers, which also wash downstream, and feed algae and other pest plants that destroy and supplant plant and animal life in the lakes and streams there.
