Yeah I too  had a hard time understanding how to tag golf courses, of
course I know nothing about golf terms. I like your concept a lot ,
but I do think you should have features on a scale from very rough
information to fine grained info.. e.g.

first:
leisure=golf_course

second:
golf=hole
number=18

third level:
golf=green/fairway/rough/bunker


The first two levels I can relate to, but on the third I have no idea
what is what on a golf course. So please post this on the wiki, and
put a bit of help on it as well since I'm sure there are people who
like me have no idea what is what on a golf course.

brownfield suggests more of a flat wasteground that hasn't yet begun
development, whereas this tag suggests active construction.

Perhaps natural=beach (only if near water).. ;-)
