Why are golf courses located near dams in Los Angeles County?

QUESTION:
I’m interested in learning more about LA County’s extensive flood control network and I’ve been researching it a bit in my spare time. I’ve noticed that there are usually golf courses near dams, such as Sepulveda Dam and Whittier Narrows. I’ve also noticed that golf courses are usually located near a body of water. Does anyone have an explanation for this?

ANSWER:

for aesthetics, increased difficulty, and because the golf course can use the ample supply of water to mantain the grounds and irigation
