yes, but it doesn't make more sense then landcover=grass.
surface=industrial doesn't make any sense either ;-)

I don't suggest to duplicate, I would move it from surface to
landcover in the case of golf courses. If this is the only context
where surface was applied as landcover, I don't see this as a big
problem. Anyway, there is a nice proposal for golf courses and surface
doesn't seem to be in it:
