WP is not a directory. What's next, List of coffee shops in California, List of shopping malls in Japan? TBM10 (talk) 18:19, 6 September 2011 (UTC) 
 * Keep – Per Wikipedia is not a directory, the article's inclusion on Wikipedia is appropriate, as the article has an organized focus and is not, per Wikipedia directory guidelines, like "Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics". The article completely passes all eight points of WP:NOTDIRECTORY guidelines. Furthermore, the article can also serve to promote the creation of new articles for the golf courses listed in the article, and is functional and appropriate as a Wikipedia article in list format.

 * Keep&mdash;I added some references for notability. Interestingly, I just found out that N. Dakota has more golf holes per capita than any other state in the U.S. Regards, RJH (talk) 19:02, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
