''Advance Tour'' is way more flip-floppy about it. The in-game menus use "[X] Course" - "Marion Course", "Palms Course", "Dunes Course", and "Links Course". The "Course" part is capitalized in the menus, but not in dialogue, because screw consistency. The clubs that house the courses in story mode are still called "[X] Club", albeit with Palms and Dunes now pluralized. There is also at least one instance of an NPC calling the Marion Club the "Marion Golf Club", because again, screw consistency. The one-word variants are sometimes used by NPCs, but that seems more like shorthand than anything. | ''Advance Tour'' is way more flip-floppy about it.

My vote goes the "Course" names, which would make them consistent with the [[Mushroom Course]], which does not have a "Club" name associated with it (it's "club" is Peach's Castle). I plan to expand these articles in the future, so I want to solve this conundrum beforehand. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 15:41, July 28, 2022 (EDT) | ||
:I think the current name is a little awkward, like if you search "Marion" you'd expect it to be the name of a character. I do think we should use a noun to help immediately describe what the thing is. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 20:09, July 28, 2022 (EDT) | :I think the current name is a little awkward, like if you search "Marion" you'd expect it to be the name of a character.

::I think so too, but do we use the "Club" names or the "Course" names? That's mainly what we need to decide here. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 20:23, July 28, 2022 (EDT) | ::I think so too, but do we use the "Club" names or the "Course" names?

:::I'm going to go for "course" because it's more illustrative than club (which suggests gathering of people, a small house for a gathering, etc) in this context. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 20:52, July 28, 2022 (EDT) | :::I'm going to go for "course" because it's more illustrative than club (which suggests gathering of people, a small house for a gathering, etc) in this context. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 20:52, July 28, 2022 (EDT) | ||
