yes im hoping to add in the next month or two after i get through north america

definitely better filled through the site itself! any submissions get queued and reviewed overnight. Then elevated to human review if it's hard to verify automatically.

There are a lot of incorrect labels in OSM. I'd love to push my data back upstream to OSM one day once i feel like its very complete and accurate.

yes and new developments/ cities are doing a much better job balancing this in most cases. Golf courses are a great use for flood plains and overflow regions.

you'll get yelled at for entering state parks if you don't pay.

That said if its in the US and incorrect or incomplete you can submit, but anything outside the US i'd wait until i do a first pass on the new regions.

OSM, golfcourseapi.com, booking sites, etc. some help from AI to parse duplicates, bad locations. missing data.

Users can contribute right on the site by submitting corrections. It goes into a review queue and then is reviewed and implemented

Golf courses are often full of exclusively native foliage, often protected areas, and wetland areas. With much more ecodiversity support than neighboring businesses, residential areas, and even parks.

please report it on the site!

Fixed and deployed! Markers only existed on the primary copy of the world, if you ever scrolled passed it would have nuked all the pins. Thanks for the report!

looking into it thanks!

course details are not that great on OSM. typically just some polygons labeled 'golf course' and maybe a number of holes

Good thing water replaces itself!

Only state and zip currently. City names not yet supported (its another 3000ish pages)

Try VR golf to get started!

this is true in a lot of cases. its land that otherwise isn't great for any kind of development.

you can fill out missing info right on the site. There is a buttons for missing/ correcting data and you can fill out any info. Appreciate any that do!

please report through the site!

I'd like to to the same with my data (allow a download of all the course pages) eventually. I'm only publishing facts at the moment but would love to support other features (local ratings, reviews, etc)

why?

This doesn't provide the same level of information I (or most golfers) are looing for

yeah maybe they'll donate one day.

eventually yes. I've named a bunch that were unnamed from OSM

Not yet but i'd like to port it back somehow eventually. I've definitely named a lot of their unnamed courses on OSM

Sounds good. And yeah ideally i can link to a course's direct booking links but they are often harder to find.

Yes. After i work out best pipeline in North America id like to expand worldwide.

It will take some time i'm just doing this in spare time.

Nice! Someone shared thAT wiki with me recently on reddit. I had not been aware of it before. Great stuff!

I'm not a lawyer but my stack is clean. My base layer is OSM, which is licensed for exactly this stuff (and attributed). On top of that I used golfcourseapi.com which i also recommend (affordable, and fairly reliable so far, but not always current). Then community notes etc.

I cross reference against other sources but I am only publishing facts, which are not copyrightable in the US.

Would love to touch base one day and compare notes. I work in the golf industry so mostly just made this for myself. But after sharing with some friends and co workers i thought the wider golf community might appreciate it

Its actually present, but listed as closed (auto toggled off).

the tee time link is dead and google reports as permanently closed. However if its open i'd love to know!

US is a mixed bag. Where i am from, Michigan, we have over 600 courses and 87% of them are open to the public.

it does! pins are different color and it should label them. Might be some inaccuracies, but its pretty close. report any if you see any wrong
