Delete - per No inherited notability. And also Something doesn't become notable automatically, because it exists. The Golf-course has not been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works appearing in sources. Notability is not inherited, the designer might be notable but the subject itself is not so notable and it's more than likely to fail WP:GNG. Nothing is notable merely because a notable person was associated with it. The Golf Course itself did not receive notice, it doesn't deserve an article, this is what I think.

Sometimes, a simple Google search helps before making a contradictory !vote at an AfD, as proven below. Mar4d (talk) 03:02, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep WP:BEFORE would have worked here. It passes WP:GNG per these sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. (page 490), 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. (page 18), 11. (page 158), 12, 13. It is ranked as India's #1 course by Golf Digest. --SMS ^Talk 12:07, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep Notability proven per sources by SMS. God, this AfD is a joke. Mar4d (talk) 02:26, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
