>Personally the map with little icons always turns me off of sites.

I actually agree with you, but I really don’t know how else to get people to physically see courses they’ve never noticed before. Also I suck at Leaflet so it’s ugly.

>Maybe you don't fully aggregate the courses but you can scrape behind the scenes, automatically compile a bunch of content, and then edit it down.

I thought long and hard about this, but when I realized that the USGA, itself, has incorrect data more often than not, I realized that letting the people who love the course add the data is going to be better in the long run.

I'm surprised you think it's ugly, my immediate impression was the opposite.

I personally don't mind the icons on the map, they give a good overview and, above all, immediately explained to me what the website is about.
