Since this always comes up I feel obligated to point out golf courses don’t use near as much water as people think. They can use a lot of reclaimed and grey water for grass and ponds.
- rqtwteye 3y agoGold courses are the equivalent of "welfare queens". They don't really matter much in the big picture but look bad and are often used for political purposes.
- m463 3y agobut you hear about golf courses in vegas using 300 million gallons of water a year and it sounds like a lot of water.
- t-writescode 3y agoWhich is hilarious because a real numbers look at Vegas’s water use and they’re a case study in near perfect water usage and conservation- yes, even with all their ridiculous pools. It’s amazing what can be done with good planning and design.
- throwaway1777 3y agoYeah but the point is they may “use” that much water, but not even close to that much is coming out of the rivers and reservoirs. Of course there may be some less sustainable golf courses which do use that much, and those should be fixed, don’t think many folks would debate you there.
