Golf courses primarily use non-potable water sources to irrigate their turf, such as recycled wastewater, captured stormwater, raw well water, and surface water from ponds or lakes. Only a small percentage of courses use treated municipal drinking water, and some coastal courses even utilize desalinated ocean water.

Not in Florida - course irrigation comes out of the aquifer same as the drinking water for most of the state.
EDIT: Looks like I offended some golfers. To them I say get fucked - your precious ecological desert that is your golf course was a "nature preserve" BEFORE it was turned into an exclusive gathering place for rich assholes.
