It is not so clear in my opinion.

There are a lot of links to subdomains of areafish.com.

Offical websites does not have to be on second level domains.

according to https://areafish.com/we-offer/
they offer various plan for hosting websites.

So if these put&take fishing lakes are customers of areafish.com and can edit and 
update their websites, I would call them official.

Some of the websites are tagged on e.g. just natural=water, they should be on fishing 
nodes.

But it often not clear if a website is official. There are a lot of pizza places here 
in DK that do have their own second level domains.
   But the content is very similar and based on the same few templates. And developed 
by some food order & delivery company. (eg EatOnline). When you order from them, it 
is handled by the same backend. And they never list a phone number so that you can 
call and order without using the order&delivery company, even then such a number do 
exists. I suspect that the pizza makers can add menu items and prices but otherwise 
have little control over the website.
   But I guess we have to accept them as official if they are printed on store 
fronts, paper menus, etc. And we should make an effort to tag the phone numbers in OSM.
