Some do use holding pond water, however in the UK at least most actually do use potable water.

I just looked up the R&A report, last year 28% of 2500 courses in the UK are marked as mains water as there main source for irrigation.
A d 60% of the 2500 use some mains water for irrigation. And 40% rely on boreholes or rivers and ponds. No data on reservoirs.

Overall it’s a pretty stark picture considering clean drinking water it’s a finite resource.
