you can think of landuse as a more or less fixed list, see here: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/landuse#values
I would see a limit at 5000 uses, everything above is well introduced, especially above 50/100K which are the basic classes you should be familiar with. 
golf_course is not on the first pages 


leisure is indeed the tag for sport locations, so obviously yes


man_made is more about infrastructure, technical, industrial stuff, structures, ...
You can get an idea here: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/man_made#values


There surely is some logical structure in the current osm tagging system and yes, you either look up the tags or learn them, or you will have to use presets ;-)

Any system will not be obvious.

Yes, there are also some exceptions and oddities in the system I would like to get rid of like you do, but it's not the amenity key or the k/v structure for tags.
