Very few people realise how environmentally devastating this game is.

You see this?

I used to hike along the coast there quite regularly but someone decided it was much better to turn the whole thing into a gulf course and to illegally block access to locals.

Edit: Of course they also chose the driest part of the island.

Where is this? California has strict regulations about the actual beach access. So e.g. Pebble Beach is in one of the most beautiful locations in all of Northern California, ridiculously expensive and nearly impossible to play as a mortal, but you can still go drive around 17 mile drive through the course and walk along the coastal trails for free.

It's in st Lucia in the Caribbean.

There is regulations for beach access too here where all the coastline need to be accessible to the public.

So far with this particular resort they are doing everything they can to discourage people from coming in and showed a strong disdain for the local community.

Maybe they should be on the lookout for people pouring cement into the golf holes.
