Plan it in the Studio

Plan The Metropolitan Golf Links hole by hole, for your game.

Ask in plain words. The Studio draws each hole on the aerial photo, picks a club for each shot from your carries and the way you miss, and shows where a miss costs you strokes. This course's greens were surveyed, so it reads their slope too.

The approach, planned Example from another course: hole 15, Resort tee, Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale
The green, from LiDAR Example from another course: hole 15, Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale
Every shot, tee to green Example from another course: hole 2, Resort tee, Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale
