You can use OpenLayers to placed additional items (icons, ways, bitmaps,
etc) on top of a Tile-Server based map, meaning that you don't need to
render special tiles.

If the cycle route and/or golf course interaction is quite simple you can
generate these as seperate OSM 'xml' files and (effectively) render in the
browser.

This has the advantage of not 'polluting' the OSM database with stuff
which is (not yet) real.

A very simple example(s) is here:
