For your well question, yes. Very common in rural areas for each house to have their own well and septic. Many golf courses are also located rurally, often with a more well off neighbourhood being developed neaby the course. The golf course may also have a well for irrigation. Poorly maintained and illegally drilled wells may not be sealed effectively and could allow contaminated surface runoff to enter the aquifer faster.
