I think it's a good use of land. Our Glorious Leader's Sidekick would have

It's green, it's well maintained, it's good for wildlife, it's not
objectionable to look at. The clubs afford pleasure to some and employment
to many both directly and indirectly.

For example, 'wits' who devise shallow epithets and those who repeatedly
roll them out, monotonously.
