If UK golf courses were turned over entirely to solar PV that would more than cover the ~30GW extra called for in the UK's Clean Power 2030 plan, IIRC. I would regard that as a huge improvement in use from areas that are otherwise often fairly sterile from a biodiversity point of view, and only get used by a fraction of the population. What is the 'cost' of those courses, vs PV, vs horrible climate change? But the point remains that very significant PV can be provided on already-in-use land from homes and warehouses to reservoirs and farm land agrivoltaics.
