Japan turns abandoned golf courses into solar farms

Golf courses are being repurposed for a range of beneficial uses, including rewilding, public parks, urban gardens, housing and solar farms. Japan has become a notable example, with idle golf grounds converted into solar power sites as demand for the sport declines. Commenters on social media say the solar option surprised them, and the wider conversation centres on finding productive new lives for redundant land.
Why now: A widely shared article on Japan converting golf courses into solar farms prompted people to discuss other ways disused courses could be reused.
