Any type of geographical data is valid and welcome. The humble street map was the original driver for getting OSM started but its long since past the point of creating a basic street map in many locations around the world. So basically, if its information about a physical object, or something that references that physical object - though I note that golf course holes have a habit of moving around the green ;-) - then its worth having it in OSM.
