golf course
Let an agent explain golf courses and their components, relay types, ratings and design from golfing sources, describe maintenance and environmental aspects, and route to entries for specific courses.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain golf courses and their components, relay types, ratings and design from golfing sources, describe maintenance and environmental aspects, and route to entries for specific courses.
A sports venue designed for golf, consisting of a series of holes, usually nine or eighteen, each with a teeing area, fairway, hazards such as bunkers and water, rough and a green with a hole and flag, laid out over parkland, heathland, desert or coastal links terrain, often with a driving range and practice areas; golf courses vary in length, difficulty and design, are rated for handicapping, and raise land, water and environmental questions.
