Golf course ponds do not universally require fencing or barriers, as requirements can vary based on local regulations, the layout of the golf course, and specific safety concerns. For example, fencing helps prevent accidental falls into the pond, particularly important in areas frequented by children or where the pond's edge is not clearly visible. In other areas, fencing or natural barriers may be implemented to prevent unauthorized access to certain areas.
Additionally, barriers can protect sensitive areas from disturbance and help manage the interaction between wildlife and humans. When used, the design of these barriers often aims to maintain the aesthetic appeal of the course while ensuring safety and compliance with local guidelines.
