In this Article from the Orange County Register, we see how an effort to become more self sufficient has Bella Collina Towne and Golf Club integrating food into the golf course, from the article:

The 1 1/2-acre parcel close to the clubhouse is fully planted. But Romano has big plans. Pointing to the hills to the west, he said 15 acres will be planted with grape vines and fruit trees including olive trees. There will be a greenhouse to grow winter tomatoes. And within the course, he plans to create "gathering pockets," areas with a few fruit trees and a small seating area. Places where people can sample some fruit, take in the view and escape for a little while.
