Currently Golf Courses are an allowed use in the Greenbelt. Maybe replace the gravel pit beside RBJ Schlegel Park since it's outside of the country side line. Golf strikes me as one of those activities that requires a car, I haven't see anyone lug a set of clubs on transit or a bike.
"Golf is an allowed use in the greenbelt"
Ahh..wonderful. Yet another example of people confusing the colour green with environmentally friendly.
The greenbelt is already a mixed bag of "environmentally friendly", since I think the majority of it is farmland. But of course, farms are actually needed unlike golf.
It's probably better to think about the greenbelt as protecting vital infrastructure (farms, water, etc.) than anything to do with protecting nature.
