Do you know of any sites that I could find some recreational shapefiles?

An example would be shapefiles of golf courses, ski resorts, or maybe baseball fields in the United States?

Answer 1

I would suggest checking the other other questions that have the POI tag for a more comprehensive list, but a couple that come to mind right away are:

• SimpleGeo Places
• Yahoo GeoPlanet
• OpenStreetMap (Using the "amenity" keyword)
• POI Factory

As always, check each site's terms of use to make sure you can use it for your purposes.
