Golf courses, often seen as exclusive and manicured, offer a unique opportunity for regeneration and community through permaculture. With over 38,000 golf courses worldwide, they could be reimagined as thriving ecosystems and community hubs. By applying permaculture’s ethics—Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share—golf courses can become sustainable spaces. Integrating native plants, community gardens, and wellness programs can transform these areas into models of ecological balance and social equity. This approach doesn’t eliminate golf; it elevates it.
