Why region, not “course type.” The USGS GNIS source records named courses and where they are — it carries no public/private status, green fees, par or yardage. So we compare on the honest dimension the data supports, geographic region, rather than invent a course-type or fee figure. Counts are from our 8998-course directory, verified June 2026. How we compile this.
