A water hazard is a natural obstacle, such as ponds, lakes, river & streams, designed to add difficulty to a golf course. Usually marked by yellow stakes or lines, they are covered by specific rules.
How to map
Tag the feature with golf=.
If mapping ponds & lakes, draw an area
around the ground and additionally add both natural=water & the appropriate water=* tag.
If mapping rivers, streams or ditches draw either a single linear way
and add the appropriate waterway=* tag, or as a polygon representing the banks of the feature and add both natural=water & the appropriate water=* tag.
