Yes, there has been a lot of effort to cut down or even xeriscape golf courses. Often, water from the sewer ponds is diverted as they consume so much water for lawns and greens. Importantly, the waste water is treated before it is sprinkled on the lawn, unlike the production water injected in fracking operation. Yucca Valley, I believe, was a small municipality in California near Joshua Tree with its own small aquifer, the Warren aquifer. They needed rescue the aquifer due to unregulated injection. I think they are ok these days, but California has a long legacy of aquifer abuse that will likely cause some ugly problems in the years ahead.

In my town the city uses lightly recycled “grey water” to irrigate its golf courses.

Same thing as the oil wells. A dying business model is bought up by huge conglomorates who extract what they can and walk away from the destruction they cause, leaving the taxpayer to live with the mess.
You know the original? It rocks!
