At first look, one would think that sectioning off acres upon acres of land to keep the concrete jungle from growing into it would be a good thing. However, the natural grass is usually replaced with grass specially grown for Golf. This decreases the naturalness of the environment. Trees are cut down to make fairways, bushes are removed, ponds are dug, and the vegetation is largely kept from getting too large. This decreases animal habitats and the wildlife of the area. Finally, pesticides used to rid the course of certain insects seeps into the ground which gets into the natural matter underground, thus poisoning it. Fertilizers get into the water system, causing toxic algae blooms.
