I don't understand what you're trying to say and I think you might be very confused. Data centers use more water per acre.

If we had the exact same number of acres of golf courses and data centers, data centers would use more water.

That's the point: we won't have the same number of acres of golf courses and data centers. Golf courses intrinsically use more land.
