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. Six golf courses are located within the Pathfinder to Guernsey subbasin. The following table summarizes information regarding these golf courses, including the estimated quantity of irrigation water that is consumptively used at each golf course during ônormalö or average years.
