Well, they sure aren’t helping the ecosystem, but I wouldn’t say dead. I live near a golf course, lot’s of wildlife visiting it in the odd hours. And that is just the bigger stuff I can see.
Big animals don’t have a lasting ecological impact when the soil is dead. A golf course has no viable shrub cover, no insects to speak of, no real living soil, nothing. It’s basically a dead presentation field for some larger animals that abandon it after social functions. The area itself is not much more suited for live than a parking lot. Which also has wildlife visiting.
Every golf course is a dead ecosystem pretending it’s alive.
