Interesting topic, I'd also be curious to know the biggest city without a course.
Picuris Pueblo, NM has a 20 hole course. Population 86
Where in the H do you get 42 from? i can only remember seeing like 4-6 houses (including johns), the cemetery, and the DG complex. i think one house may be a bar since it had a ton of neon beer signs facing out the window.
Highbridge should take #1. it has no large population center to draw from. probably less than 100k (maybe even 50k???) people within an hour drive. so its remote.
some of the small towns mentioned are near large population centers. so its not like there isnt people around.
muldraugh, KY - pop 1220 - 18 holes -- and a pretty fun course at that
Palmyra, IN - pop 734 - 19 holes
English, IN - pop 652 - 18 holes -- great course
Eubank, KY - pop 379 - 18 holes
This is so close to an awesome answer -- but I'm not convinced the course is in the boundaries of the Picuris Pueblo CDP.
It might be in Rio Lucio, which has population 379.
Or it might be just outside the CDP limits of both -- I can't really tell for sure.
Defining and identifying boundaries is not straightforward.
Depends how you define it, right?
If you are talking cities proper, and you don't count object courses, then I think it's New York City, right?
If you want to allow the object course in NYC, but still want to go cities proper (or more specifically, incorporated places and/or CDPs), the most populous cities proper (2009 estimates) can be found here:

If you want to go with metro areas, you have to decide on a definition (MSA vs CSA vs Urban Area vs etc. etc.), but you'd probably have to go way down the list to find one without a course.
MSA list:

CSA list:

Urban Area list:

I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to ferret out the answer.
