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. There are five golf courses in the South Platte 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 “normal” or average years.
