Of course pools, tennis courts, restaurants, and golf courses are all amenities.
As defined by Webster, an amenity is something that provides comfort, convenience, or enjoyment.
You seem to be under the impression that only those activities that are covered by the amenity fee are amenities. Or if privately owned, cannot be called an amenity. In real estate, a wide range of things available in the neighborhood are considered amenities including schools, shopping centers, post offices, parks, playgrounds, running trails, recreational centers, golf courses, etc
Some amenities are included in an "amenity fee" and some cost extra and are privately owned.
