Or, of course if the 'holes' are bound up with a relation for all the features of the golf course then the relation can be overlaid on the standard mapnik tiles. Also, I don't think it is fair to call it 'polluting the map' to add current details just because there is no rendering . Tagging normally takes place ahead of rendering or there would be nothing to render! Out of interest, is there a way of overlaying KML on OSM tiles using OL as there is with google maps if one points the search box to a KML file? Thanks for the response.
