Like others have said - near the golf course is the more high-end area of Doha - West Bay. 15 is low for housing and car. The bigger compounds with more amenities will cost between 20-25. You could get a stand-alone villa for 15 or a villa in a smaller compound but neither in West Bay I imagine. Maybe in the Al Markiya area which is pretty close to the golf course and near Landmark Mall. Grocery store in there and a new Carrefour opening soon.
Childcare - my child goes to Starfish Lane Kids near Landmark Mall and not far from the golf course. It's a really great place and the staff is excellent. They take kids starting at 1 year. Maybe a waiting list so look into it as soon as you get here (any nursery for that matter).
