The course, from above

This map shows all 18 holes. 11 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.

179 traced features across 8 layers for Shadow Mountain Golf 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 Blue, Gold and White 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.
