Look for signs of bluegill and minnows. If they're there, their are probably bass. If you don't see them, try a t-rigged worm or craw in the deepest part of the pond. If it's cold where you're fishing (I assume Erie is cold now) even the minnows may be inactive.
The most expensive way to get onto a golf course pond: just sneak a pole in your bag! Play golf until you get to a hole with some water on it, slice your ball into all of the golf course ponds, and “fish” it out. This can only buy you enough time for a few casts, but it is guaranteed to work.

Some country clubs allow their members to fish the hazards. I know of several that are built right onto rivers that have excellent fishing. If you can get onto one of these courses, more often than not the staff will leave you alone and assume you’re just another member legally fishing the hazards. 4. Work At A Golf Course

Golf balls are retrieved from water hazards on courses all over the world, and while the water depth is rarely more than 40 feet -- and usually less than half that -- divers can easily become disoriented or overly weighted down by the reclaimed balls and equipment.
Fishing on a golf course is allowed and legal only if you first get permission from the course management or greenskeeper. Golf courses are private property and subject to trespassing laws. Fishing without verbal or written permission is definitely not recommended.

Farms and golf courses use a variety of chemicals and pesticides that can kill fish and other aquatic animals if sprayed near or in water. Sometimes the chemicals -- even those properly applied -- can be flushed into a canal or pond as run-off during a torrential rainstorm.

Many golf courses use their ponds as water retention devices that the irrigation system pulls from nightly. If it weren't for the ponds, the water bill of a single golf course could easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of 12 short months.
Re: Is it safe to eat golf course pond fish? DO NOT EAT THOSE FISH! I work in the field of water science/conservation. If you eat those fish, you are taking a huge risk of doing harm to your body.
Remember bass don't feed if they're in water colder than 40 degrees. And when the temperatures warm, they're still sluggish. As such, bass choose tiny food sources like blades and tailspinners.
So what's your small-pond-in-winter plan of attack? It's pretty simple: make long casts toward the middle of the pond. Bass in these small bodies of water often seem to disappear in the winter, but the bulk of the hogs seek refuge around deep structure, or simply just in the deepest basin.
While Roundup is not commonly used on golf courses, it is widely applied in public parks, around schools and on fields where children play — something that also deeply troubles Nisker, a father of three.
"Anyone on the golf course or nearby is at risk. Finally, pesticides applied to the turf may run off into surface waters or leach down to groundwater, which can then expose people to contaminated drinking water. These people may live far from the place where pesticides were used."
Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate insecticide used extensively in the agricultural industry, as well as on golf courses, green houses, and as mosquito adulticide.

Most golf projects include a significant amount of water features for reasons ranging from the need to generate dirt to providing enhanced aesthetic value. The key when designing a course is to attempt to balance these interests in a way that provides the maximum benefit throughout the life of the project.
To conserve water in golf course lakes, it’s typical to line them with an impervious membrane to prevent leaking. PVC liners have been the material of choice for the lake industry.
For good aeration, the preferable lake water depth is 15 feet, and 10 feet as a minimum.
Typically, oxygen is most lacking at the bottom of a lake where the water is obviously farthest from the atmosphere. To compensate for this problem, it’s beneficial to inject oxygen or ozone from specially designed tubing laid on the bottom of the lake. This configuration helps solve the problem at its source.
A PVC liner must be covered with soil, and from an aesthetic viewpoint, a soil bottom is the most desirable lake bottom surface. There are other materials that have been used in lake systems; some covered and some uncovered. But PVC continues to be the most suitable for this type of work.
The Department allowed the 9 Hole course to remain and the state developed a game refuge around the course and lake. We remain as a 9 Hole course, just 3 miles East of Plankinton , South Dakota.
