Thanks malifica. I appreciate having a chance to discuss it and work out our issues.

I am sorry to hear about the performance issues you're seeing. I typically have very fast data loads with OSM (short of rare server issues with OSM) so I'm thinking you might be right that it might be an ArcGIS problem. Have you ever looked into QGIS? It's free and runs everywhere and might help. I have no deep experience with either though.

Somehow word got out early on that the right way to join a fairway and green was to overlap them. This style was quickly adopted and spread like wildfire and we now have 20,000 greens like this and I'm doing my darndest to clean them up and get word out to hopefully stop that flow.

The lollipops I was referring to sound different from what you are doing. I used to run into them often and put together a 3 month effort to get rid of them (at least on fairways). Here's an example of what I'd see: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/5/58/Golf_Course_Lollipop_Example.png
