Recreational Water Use: Golf Courses

 
 

Platte River Basin golf courses typically consumptively use water for irrigation. Some facilities use treated domestic or industrial wastewater for irrigation. Other golf courses have private groundwater wells or use treated water supplied by the nearest town or city. One golf course is located within the Guernsey to State Line subbasin. The following table summarizes information regarding this golf course, including the estimated quantity of irrigation water that is consumptively used at the golf course during “normal” or average years. .
