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.

The 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.

The Studio

The Studio can't plan Kalona Golf Club hole by hole yet.

We hold its scorecard and 14 of its features, 13 traced and 1 predicted by a model, but not a model of every green, which a plan aims at.

It plans 4,579 courses hole by hole today, and it charts your bag anywhere.

  • The approach, planned A Studio approach map on the aerial photo: a lob wedge aimed at the island green, its spread drawn as a dashed ring over the water, and the side it most often misses. Example from another course: hole 15, Resort tee, Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale
  • The green, from LiDAR A Studio green view on the aerial photo: arrows for the slope a LiDAR survey measured, the area a cup could be cut, and the safer side to miss. Example from another course: hole 15, Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale
  • Every shot, tee to green A Studio plan on the aerial photo of a desert par 4: the driver off the tee and a 7-iron into the green between the bunkers, each shot with its landing spread drawn as a dashed ring. Example from another course: hole 2, Resort tee, Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale

A published figure is compared only against the courses that publish it too, which is why the totals differ from row to row — a state's length field is the courses with a scorecard, not the courses in the state. Height above sea level is the exception: we derive it from a coordinate, so its field is very nearly every course we render. Ties share an ordinal and are marked =. How this is computed →

5 of 7 parts of this course page are built, and we're filling in the rest.

  • Scorecard, built.Par and yardage for every hole, from 5 sets of tees.
  • Course rating and slope, built.Rated from 5 sets of tees.
  • Course map, partly built.1 of the 9 greens are drawn — the rest of the course isn't mapped yet.
  • Per-hole distances, built.Every hole is traced, so carries and distances to the front, middle and back of each green are measured along the line you actually play.
  • Green contours, built.Half-foot contours on all 1 measured greens, from public LiDAR.
  • Green slope and pin positions, built.Fall lines and the pinnable area on 1 greens — the figures the Caddie plans against.
  • Course details, partly built.6 of 7 background details — we don't hold the grass on the greens.

The site is in beta and the database is still being built, so expect gaps. Know something we don't? Help us fill it in — a link to where it's published is worth more than anything else you could send.
