Watching this with interest as, just the other day, while on holidays, I was looking at a golf club that is apparently built within the boundaries of a designated State Forest, intended for logging purposes, so it /is/ landuse=forest as far as OSM is concerned, but it is also leisure=golf_course!

Makes as interesting one, as in this case, mapping correctly shows the wrong rendered result, as it shows that this area is covered by trees, when it is in fact a golf club, with normal tees, fairways, greens etc.

I have no idea as to the legal ownership of the ground - it is quite possible that the ground is still Govt owned, designated as State Forest, but leased to the Golf Club on an on-going basis, but with the possibility that, one day, the Govt could take it back & plant pine trees across the area.(Which may sound far-fetched, but is perfectly possible, although unlikely)

Yes. there is a mountain bike club using forestry land that I came across too .. mumm .. I'd change the golf cub area to golf club as that is what is on the ground .. but add a tag ownership=forestry commission ? I have left the MTB thing alone .. nothing very visible.

But, going back to golf courses, how do you number the fairways? "1" or "1st"?; & marked on the tee / fairway / green / all 3 / don't?

Looks to me like it is marked on the 'hole' .. 'golf=hole' is for the way between tee off to green pin ... as suggested on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dgolf_course .
That wiki page looks to have the best descriptions to me.


I think some tees and greens are used for multiple different holes so use the hole for the name etc is best in that situation.
