Eutrification: increased alga and lower levels of dissolved oxygen. That's a result of phosphorous from fertilization entering a body of water, and it can be devastating.
Golf courses are, obviously, a big concern for the bodies of water close to them. But anyone demonizing golf courses should take notice of how many lush, green, tree-free lawns there are on the lake. And not just in the developments; a number of private homes that actually have a say in their landscaping choices have also opted to dump fertilizer into the lake.
If you're looking to poolute a large body of water in an unobtrusive way, it's hard to do better than building a golf course. The potential damage CAN be mitigated; the question is, do the people who need to care really care at all?
