Destroying the land isn’t really the issue, they choose flat terrain to avoid having to do the work. It’s the irrigation cost of keeping the greens functional in environments the grass isn’t suited for that’s the problem.
If it’s your game, do it. The people making these memes probably use computers that draw power created with coal and batteries mined in undeveloped and largely exploited nations. Their moral attempt at trying to make golf the one thing that needs to be focused on is just one of convenience because they don’t specifically like it.
Most of their hobbies are just as damaging if your scope of economics goes out a couple of layers.
Sorry the sentence didn’t really make sense in hindsight.
Essentially people love to point out other people’s hobbies when they’re damaging the environment but conveniently leave out all of the ways their particular hobbies do the same.
It’s easy to say “insert thing here is bad!” When you don’t partake in it, which is why a community of mostly computer nerds bitches about sports. It’s an easy target since they don’t have a personal stake.

Terrible take almost all golf courses run their irrigation in a closed loop system.
IIRC there’s also an issue of fertilizer runoff (or whatever they use on grass, idk lmao) harming the surrounding ecosystem
