The Browse Course page (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/browse.php) apparently requires a mininum of 4 characters in the Course Name field in order to perform a search.

Which single courses can you find by using only 4 characters?

For instance, searching for "nais" gets you to Renaissance. Searching for "tiel" finds Montiel Park in San Marcos, CA.

"maza" finds Mazarick Park, but there are 2 courses there, so it doesn't fit the Single Course criteria.
 
Dorr finds Dorr Street Elementary - a whole word in the course name, not repeated in any other course names. How many of those do we have?
 
"kwic" gets Pickwick Plantation
"ckar" and "kard" get Pickard Park

ChrisWoj's challenge of a 4-letter whole word in a single course name -- that's a good challenge. We need an uncommon 4-letter word/name. I bet there's lots of them if you browse all names. Coming up with one off the top of your head is different.

Camp Fortune Disc Golf course
 
embs, mbsh, bsho, and shof all return Embshoff Woods.

lecr returns Turtlecreek Park.

hues returns Disctractions (aka Hueston Woods) despite the string not being in the course name

iroq, roqu, oqui, quio, and uios return Iroquiois Park

iroq, roqu, oqui, quio, and uios return Iroquiois Park

Nice.

In addition to nais, we also have aiss and issa that give Renaissance. That doesn't come close to Iroquiois with 5.
 
There are over 5,000 four-letter combinations that produce a single course.

I think the most unexpected one is "disk".
 
sevi, evir, vire, iren for Seviren Lang in Georgetown, IN

kere, erei, reia, eiak, iake for Kereiakes in BG

Zant only returns Ronnie Van Zant Park in Green Cove Springs, FL. It's part of a name, but a unique and standalone four-character string.
Lick only returns Deer Lick Park in Douglasville, GA, and I feel this earns more points since it is not a proper noun.
 
"Wood" returns 139 courses, including my home course of Woodward Legacy DGC in Fresno.

Ooooh, 4-letter strings that return the MOST courses. New challenge! I'm guessing "disc" and "golf" and "park" will be pretty high on the list.
 
Poor only gets you Poor House Farm, My local course!:thmbup:
