How do dry climate areas like Palm Springs justify all those golf courses?

Cordelia asked:


I just got back from a week at our timeshare in Palm Springs area and am wondering how such a dry climate can justify having over 65 + golf courses. I wonder how much water one golf course demands to keep green. Does the water get recycled?? Could there be a better way of doing this. Why not just use artificial turf? I don’t golf, just enjoy the warm weather, pool, tennis, etc.

      They have underground pipes that water it (if I remember correctly). They could just be sprinklers. lol

      Im thinking they probably use alot of sprinkling systems and fertilizations. Around where I live, that is what they do when it is dry.

      Because people like to play golf and are willing to pay to do so.
