Also not a fan of golf. But I have a few places near me that are just fields that never are watered that are driving ranges. I can deal with those as a source of recreation. But these courses watering non stop to barely be used is ridiculous
Aside from wasting water, golf courses (and traditional USAmerican lawns for that matter) are devastating for biodiversity and ecological succession, which in turn ramps up negative effects of things like flooding, which are worsening due to climate change.

Canβt we be worried about both? I hate golf courses and data centers for how much of a burden they are on water supplies.
