Coincidentally there's a thing in the Guardian about golf courses in London. Some nuggets:
"Forty-three of the city’s courses are owned by public bodies, totalling an area greater than the borough of Hammersmith & Fulham."
"About a quarter of Europe’s golf courses are in the UK...a similar amount of land here is dedicated to golf as domestic buildings."
"In London there are nearly 100 golf courses, together taking up more land than the boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Hackney combined."
"At maximum capacity, an 18-hole course can hold 72 players in groups of four simultaneously. London’s 4,331 hectares of golf courses can provide recreation space for about 13,472 players over a very long mid-summer day – fewer than the average number of visitors to the 86-hectare Victoria Park"
