#12This is fascinating not because I’m interested in visiting any of these. But to see the communities in Alaska with courses, or to look at the most concentrated places and wonder what so many people in Florida get out of having a fairway and one hole right in their backyard..

#14Any plans to expand this to other parts of the world?
Yes. Canada and Mexico next. Then will move to EU Asia etc. Want to work out all the hiccups in US first

#15I am not sure how it is in USA but in my country golf courses are abuse of public resources for (almost) private use. For a very few who can lobby enough for renewal of these leases and these are kept out of reach of the normal public, either by rule or by cost, sometimes both. Golf courses are lungs of many of the growing cities, across the world, but I do believe they should not be kept exclusive. Also, this comes directly from feudal/colonial times here. Those also require too much of other natural and public resources to be maintained.

#16clicked on a website link for a course near me and it took me to a weird site wopraja
probably and old site that now redirects.. you can report issues right on the site. community reports are going to be the most reliable for me over time.

That seems slightly pointless no? I mean Singapore is small enough already, there probably is 10 courses maximum. The one I've seen is the Changi course, and I don't think it can compare to the average course size in the States

#20It would be interesting to map this to parkinson's data.
