Peter: Several things happen. many places in Florida rely on an AQUA RANGE. First you get fill for the course and/or lots, 2nd you have a water storage area for your pump pond, and 3rd you have a practice facility! 3 bangs for your buck. Also since it's fairly flat in most of florida, Hydrolics must be good to move water off the course and into these ponds which are usually all connected.
