I can appreciate your passion but there is a reason even the golf courses' own web sites don't go into this much detail... nobody wants to read 18 novels per golf course. Maybe for Augusta National but not a local muni. Simple reviews -- great idea. Many examples out there like Top100golfcourses.com . But on your site, I can read your descriptions but still don't really get a feel of whether or not you enjoyed the course, were the conditions good, pace, good value, etc.

Go for it as long as you are enjoying it, though.

Fair enough. It's more a passion project than anything. I do enjoy it and have learned a lot about things like imagemagick and such in the process.

You may be interested in a similar endeavour: https://www.flickr.com/photos/golfcoursepix/collections/

& the site for it:

Your effort is highly localized right now but far more in depth which is appreciated

Based on other responses, there are obviously people who do want to read this level of detail. Good thing the internet caters to everyone.

You're right. Let's just tell every Show HN submission that they built the greatest site ever, that they had the most original idea that has never been tried before, and they're just an awesome person for creating this perfect thing which cannot be improved in any possible way! Oh, and don't forget that all of us readers would absolutely pay $10, no, $100 per month for this amazing new content!
