Methodology

Counts come from an OpenStreetMap-derived course registry (ODbL), machine-verified per course: state assignment by point-in-polygon against Census boundaries, course size derived from par bands (never from mapping coverage), access type normalized from source tags. Facilities with neither a website nor a phone number are excluded from publication until verified. Counts change as courses open and close.
