- Weak keep - I'd rather this was cleaned up. It's possible this particular golf club is notable, but I can't tell because there aren't any reliable sources. --Ritchie333 (talk) 08:45, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge the paragraph on the course's history into the Turnhouse article. That said, there are a number of media references to the club, mainly from The Scotsman, which is effectively its local paper, and these may be enough to stretch to a Weak Keep.

- Keep Click Google news archive search at the top of the AFD. Or look at the links above me which someone has already found for those too lazy to look for yourselves. Dream Focus 00:08, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Every sports facility gets coverage in the local newspaper. I don't think that demonstrates notability. To demonstrate notability would require significant news coverage from other geographic areas. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 03:57, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or merge/redirect to Turnhouse. WP:ROUTINE coverage. At least three of the articles linked above are minor human interest stories (children's golfing events) or announcement-type event reporting - not coverage treating the subject in detail.

There are many golf courses on Wikipedia, and more are just fine by me, as long as they are properly documented, which this one is, or could easily become. --DThomsen8 (talk) 15:22, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
