why are not all downloaded golf courses showing up in the list?

Garmin Connect - Downloaded Golf Courses shows only "some" of the downloaded courses.  When I go to "add" "+" a course, type in the name in the search box, it shows the course as already downloaded - with a check mark. However, this course does NOT show up in the list of downloaded courses. When I select this course - it shows me a map and indicates the course is downloaded - but it is not in the list of downloaded courses to select. WTF?  If the course is not in the list - it won't download to a Vivo 3 Music device. Bottomline - I can select from some of the courses that are downloaded - but I have several that I can't. No obvious differences - but several courses I play won't load or appear in the list - even though they indicate they are downloaded in the Garmin Connect App.

Help?

    Have you tried downloading the courses on Connect? Then syncing. Instead of the Golf Garmin app. This worked for my device (venu sq). I believe the Golf app is faulty, even after reinstalling. Hope this helps.

    It also worked for me (Fenix 5X). Make sure you have the latest map updates.

    Same things happened to me. But when I was at the course it worked no problem.

    I realized although my Garmin was working last week, it was at the same course already downloaded.

    There’s two apps: Garmin golf app and there’s the Garmin IQ app where courses must be downloaded on both applications. If 5 courses are on the Garmin Golf app they will not also be downloaded on the Garmin IQ app-both apps has to be downloaded separately. Two apps Garmin family, 2 apps.

    Happy swinging! Golfer‍♀️

    I have Garmin IQ on my phone do not see where in Garmin IQ you download golf courses.  There is a separate garmin golf app where they're downloaded as well but mine still do not populate in my watch.

    Hello, you will need to use the Garmin Connect app to download courses to your watch.

    Yes this is how I have downloaded them through Garmin connect as well as on to the Garmin watch.  I still have connection issues where only a couple courses have downloaded....

    Garmin IQ is something separate & not where courses are downloaded...I was confused by your msg.

    There's also a Garmin golf app you can download on your phone use that instead of your watch but that defeats the purpose of having the watch for golf outing

    Long story to help everyone troubleshoot (TLDR: My newly added courses don’t appear at home [far from course] and then appear on watch once I get close to newly added course.):

    I had this problem back in November. I sat at my house all morning trying to get the course I was playing that afternoon to appear on my watch. It drove me crazy. I spend hours in the forums looking for a solution. Finally, I had to leave for my round. All the way to the course I kept re-syncing, re-starting, etc. Then, all of a sudden the course I was playing appeared. I chalked the course appearing up to good luck and gave up on trying to repeat the process. Fast forward to this past Monday. I was playing a new course an hour away. Same thing happened: spent the day before my round trying to get the course on my watch, with no luck. After driving at the course I decided to check my watch to see if I could "luck out" again. Sure enough, the course was there.

    I saw in the Garmin troubleshooting articles that only the closest five courses appear on your watch. *Something* weird is still going on because when I’m at home there are courses appearing on my watch that I would never have added (fancy private country clubs), but - they are close nonetheless.

    My suggestion: Add the course to your watch and then once you get to the course, sync the watch again to see if the course is there.
