More Digital Mapping

We've been asked to release more contour maps of our greens.  We will release 4 greens every week for the next month.  Enjoy!

Digital Archive

We are pleased to announce the digital archive of the greens, green surrounds and fairway bunkers are complete and in our possession.  We would like to thank Dean Gump for all of his hard work during the restoration and recommending this project to the green committee last year and Scott Pool, Terra Shapers LLC, for scanning the golf course.   Below are a few examples of the contour maps.  All pinable areas are green to yellow!

3D Digital Terrain Modeling

This week we are very excited to have Scott Pool, GreenScan 3D DBA Terra Shapers LLC, onsite developing a 3D digital terrain model of the greens and bunkers.  Our goal is to preserve the work completed during the restoration and to not repeat the difficult task of using old black and white photos for future restoration.


The accuracy of the 3D as-built model will be +/- .01 feet or 1/8".  The data will include the following,


1.     3D Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of each putting surface and surrounds in AutoCAD  DWG format.

2.     Color Slope Analysis map of putting surfaces at .1’ contour interval plotted to 1”=10’ scale

3.     Color Contour Map and Satellite Image .5' contour interval for green complex area surrounds and fairway bunkers.

I would like to thank Dean Gump for proposing this project last year.  The hard work of Tom Doak, Jim Urbina, Dean Gump, the board of directors and many others will now be preserved forever.
