Golf courses are a totally irresponsible use of water resources (and in some cases, of land) especially in arid climates or drought-prone areas. I'd say I wanted to ban them, but then the hoardes of golf enthusiasts would come after me with nine-irons.
I suspect that the actual volumes of (arable!) land and water consumed are less significant than the blatant, in-your-face nature of this consumption.
I imagine this is particularly true where you are. "Ideas or the lack of them can cause disease." - Kurt Vonnegut
