No, I mentioned it because the golf course in question is "built" entirely inside the boundaries of an area designated as "State Forest", which is intended for logging purposes, so it renders on OSM as a light green patch entirely covered by trees. Don't know what will happen if I then map tree rows, bunkers, water hazards & so on - guess we'll have a small patch of blue with trees in it as well?

I think the area cannot be used for logging. There is a saw mill in the Tumut NSW Australia area (Batlow IIRC?) operated by the Forestry Commission, designated as a state forest .. yet it is correctly tagged as land use industrial in OSM. I would think the same applies to the golf course - map what is there, not necessarily the official designation ... it could be out of date, what ever the case what is on the ground should override any other source of information.

But doesn't the wiki say that landuse=forest is for managed forests, intended for logging purposes (or similar wording - can't open it ATM for some reason?), which this entire area is?

Apparently areas used for logging-related purposes are not to be mapped in OSM .. there are no tags available for this land use.
We simply cannot map them.
