Proposal
- Current: leisure=golf_course
- See Wikipedia for more information on golf courses.
- See also European Golf Association, EGA Handicap System, for reference information on Slope, Course rating, colours of tee boxes, etc.
Hole (node)
(Added by Stevage - the idea of treating the two end-nodes of a way specially is unusual. Better to have explicit nodes. It's easier on renderers, and I think it wouldn't be uncommon to just want to render the location of each hole/pin, without the rest)
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| golf=pin | |
| ref=<number> | number of this hole, usually 1 to 18 |
Hole (way)
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| golf=hole | |
| ref=<number> | number of this hole, usually 1 to 18 |
| par=<number> or par:<tee color>=<number> | par, [1] |
| handicap=<number> or handicap:<tee color>=<number> | handicap rating; 1 (hardest) to 18 (easiest) |
| dist:<tee color>=<number> | distance from tee to pin |
| name=<text> | If this hole has a name, specify it, e.g [2] (Thanks Milliams) |
Notes
- for tee colors, see [3]
- way should resemble the "ideal line" of the hole
- par, handicap and dist information can be found on the score card
Rendering
- black line
- first node = tee
- last node = pin
Hole (area)
- golf=hole
- this includes the whole area of a hole, especially teeing zone, fairway and putting green
Grass (areas)
- rough: golf=rough, [4]
- fairway: golf=fairway, [5]
- putting green: golf=green, [6]
- tee box(es): golf=tee, [7]
- practice(s) : golf=practice
Hazards
- Bunker (area): golf=bunker [8]
- Water (area): golf=water_hazard
- Lateral water (area): golf=lateral_water_hazard
Thanks to User:Lawgon for pointing this out: "Whether the water hazards have water in them or not is not really relevant to a golfer". Water hazards are marked with yellow stakes, lateral water hazards with red ones. For more information, visit Wikipedia

Out of bounds
| Item | |
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
| golf=out_of_bounds | stakes rendered as white dots | white line | white line for area's boundary |
When stakes are used to define out of bounds, these stakes should be painted white. [...] Out of bounds may be defined by a line on the ground and such a line should be white. The white line itself is out of bounds. A line will certainly provide a clear definition of the boundary, however, due to the terrain, establishing a line may prove difficult and its upkeep may be time consuming.
Official reference: R&A, Guidance on Running a Competition, Marking the course, Out of bounds
Dropping zones
... to be developed
Dropping zones should be outlined with paint and an appropriate sign should be placed, or the words “Dropping Zone” (or “DZ”) painted, in the area. ... Committees may wish to relate the colour of the paint line to the condition from which relief is being taken, e.g. yellow if the dropping zone relates to a water hazard, red if it relates to a lateral water hazard, but there is no necessity to do this.

Environment-Sensitive Areas
Reuse of boundary=protected_area
Where areas on or adjoining the course are declared by an appropriate authority to be environmentally-sensitive and, therefore, entry into and/or play from the areas is prohibited, the area should be physically protected to deter players from entering the area, for example, with a fence, warning signs and the like.
Official reference: R&A, Guidance on Running a Competition, Marking the course, Environment-Sensitive Areas
Amenities
- Ball washer (node): golf=ball_washer, [9]
- Driving range (node, area): golf=driving_range, [10]
- Shelters (node or building) : amenity=shelter
- Toilets (node or building): amenity=toilets
- Water dispenser (node): amenity=drinking_water
Paths etc.
- If usable with a golf cart [11]: highway=track
- else: highway=footway
- please use correct access right, often access=private
