> I have played golf on this very course many times over the decades. Have you? Have you ever played golf? It is not correct to say that every green on the course is surrounded by fairway. The fairways typically run up to the front of the green. The green typically has a fringe area and maybe a light rough area surrounding, but definitely not fairway. The proper way to designate the green and fairway areas is shown in the Wiki here ---->https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dgolf_course

The fairway is NOT a line, it is an area and should be tagged as an area just as the green is. Also note in the example that a sand trap, for instance, can be located in a fairway area as an area and the fairway area has the outer relationship while also tagged as golf=fairway and the sand trap has the inner relationship while also being tagged as golf=green.

All of the GPS data from OSM has to come from areas such as greens, sand traps, water hazards, tee boxes and fairways.
