The problem is where they get the water for the course. Not every retention pond you see is available for golf course use. I was told the water for Hacienda is the pond near Freedom Pointe (not the one they are working on, though). Since that pond is low, they have to ration the water to overseed the tees and greens. There is not enough water there to do the fairways. Also, the pond cannot be pumped dry. They have to leave a certain amount in the pond. If we get more rain, there may be enough to do the fairways. Other courses have different sources of water.
