The course, from above

This map draws 19 hole lines for an 18-hole course. Hole 11 is drawn in two places, so a line here may not be the hole it is numbered. 29 mapped features sit close to more than one hole and are drawn with the nearer one. A green the scorecard does not account for was left off the map. The map below draws everything that has been traced.

197 traced features across 7 layers for Indian Wells Country Club The Classic Course, drawn over NAIP 2022 aerial imagery. The map itself needs JavaScript; the geometry is a plain GeoJSON file either way.

Every figure as published except Card par (derived), which is summed from the card below and shown only where a published figure is contested; a blank cell elsewhere is one nobody publishes. Front 9 and Back 9 are summed from the per-hole yardages on the scorecard.

The White and Red tees publish a par the scorecard below does not add up to. Both figures are published and nothing we hold settles which one a round plays to, so the Par column keeps the published figure, marked contested, and each tee's own par row from the card below is summed beside it, marked derived.

No per-hole yardages are published for White/Red Combo, so it is not on the card above.
