Proposing eco-friendly links, to some extent? (7,5)

I believe the answer is:

putting green

'links to some extent?' is the definition.
(part of a golf links)

'proposing eco-friendly' is the wordplay.
'proposing' becomes 'putting' (as in putting an idea forward).
'eco-friendly' becomes 'green' (green can mean good for the environment).
'putting'+'green'='PUTTING-GREEN'
