A lot of the ‘water features’ on golf courses pull double duty. The courses drain into these ponds...and the ponds are pumped out for irrigation.

I see no problem doing this...but if they are using city water, while other users are restricted...that’s a problem.

Correct. Also, many golf courses use treated waste water to irrigate the greens. I don’t know if that is the case with the SF golf courses but I would not be surprised.

Yeah, they might have their own water rights. Then they can take out as much as they want. But, if they are using .gov water and everyone else having to shower on odd days, then they might have some problems.
