Not so sure non-golfers expect to spend time IN green space. There's a national forest just up the road from TV, and I think non-golfer villagers probably don't spend a whole lot of time IN it.

I thought the main purposes of "green space" were to protect the eco-system flora and fauna, and to preserve aesthetic natural beauty of the surroundings.
The Ocala National Forest ls the second largest nationally protected forest in the U.S. State of Florida. It covers 607 square miles (1,570 km2) of Central Florida.
