You should take a look at POI Factory. They have a Golf Courses-USA dataset that apparently originated from www.golflinks.com. You should of course read into their Terms of Use policy to make sure your use case is covered. |

The 05 ESRI StreetMap lyr file contains about 7100 golf course polygons nation-wide. However this most likely is a small sample of all the courses that may exist. |

try Geodeg 8852 golf courses in USA http://geodeg.com/search.php?q=golf+course&language=&country=220 |

I don't think every data dream can come to reality. If there's an agency which does not have a vision to manage geo-spatial information for itself, getting such a data can be a tedious task. You can get the textual information very easily, but finding a GIS data can be (almost) impossible. See the Golf Directory... |

Google Earth has fairly complete data set of these, it's only a viewer though. I remember a few years ago seeing a GIS job with golflink.com, might try contacting them and see if they share / sell their data sets |
