Comment: this is nothing more than an index of articles subdivided in the most obvious way.  The nom and sole delete !voter are confused as to how notability guidelines apply here.  They would only have an argument if there were no notable golf courses in Portugal, something that has not been argued here and which appears to be untrue based on the bluelinks.  "Unreferenced" is also not a valid deletion argument at all; what matters is whether the content is verifiable, and I have a hard time believing that whether a golf course is located in Portugal is something that cannot be verified.  As long as we have articles on notable golf courses, listing them by the country of location is rather beyond question.  This is far from the first time that  has been wrongly invoked to delete a completely standard list (not just by this nom), and here its invocation is nothing more than a .  NOTDIR only has relevance here regarding the kind of content this list should have: this list should not function as a business directory giving contact info, hours, rates, etc., and ''normally'' we don't want lists to be indiscriminate by including every one of the list's subject that exists regardless of whether it's notable.  I could see an argument that we ''do'' want golf course lists to be comprehensive, however, because they occupy quite a bit more real estate than your typical business and there are necessarily far fewer of them per locality...but that's a matter for talk page discussion

Comment: per the points of  under the proviso that '''only''' golf courses which have been '''demonstrated to be notable''' are included on the list. If there are not enough to form a decent list, the list is not necessary
