Well that's been a golf course for only a month:

http://osm.mapki.com/history/way.php?id=802256628

If that isn't a golf course, I suggest you discuss that with the person 
who added that in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/84983669 .

As I suggested earlier, it'd definitely make sense to split up some of 
the huge "natural=water; water=river" areas such as 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/233949 , but anyone who does that 
will need to do it in such as way that it doesn't accidentally delete 
large lengths of riverbank (which happened last time).
