Documentation Mapping

Complete mapping of all course areas, features, irrigation and infrastructure

High Precision Mapping

Our mapping technique is based on high precision GPS using RTK-network receivers, measuring in cm accuracy. This process guarantees accuracy and consistency, giving you confidence in the results of area calculations and location tools.

Mapping every feature of the course

Our Documentation Mapping is a comprehensive mapping of every point, object and feature on the golf course, with cm accuracy. Documentation includes:

Grass Areas: tees, fairways, greens, bunkers, semi-rough, rough and heavy rough
Water Obstacles: ponds, lakes, rivers, creeks, ditches, marshland
Markings: tee anchors, fairway markings, out of bounds, red/yellow hazards
Irrigation: sprinklers, quick couplers, irrigation lines, drainage, control boxes
Infrastructure: roads, cart paths, buildings, walls

Irrigation features can be defined by specific sprinkler type or diameter pipe, providing extremely detailed and accurate data.

Mark the features you want mapped, we do the rest!

It's as simple as marking out all irrigation features with flags prior to us arriving for the mapping, and we'll take care of the rest. This ensures a complete and thorough process, and provides you with an accurate "Digital Document" for use within your LiveGIS Maintenance Software.

Hole Length/Area/Control Reports

Technical Features

Export 3 report types, information generated from documentation mapping
Reports are updated as you change/update within LiveGIS Maintenance
Instantly analyze valuable technical information about your course

Hole Length Reports

See the "defined" scorecard length and compare to the "measured" length for each tee on every hole. Visually see each tee position and line of play on the hole view. Update report easily after moving tees or changing hole layout.

Area Reports

Automatically calculates areas for all key features of the hole, such as tees, fairway, green and bunkers. Changes to the course are automatically recalculated. Know exactly the area of all features on the course, and better estimate and analyze labor/fertilizer/irrigation costs.

Control Reports

Lists type, exact GPS coordinates, and distance from the green for all irrigation, drainage and infrastructure. See location of features visually on the map.

Measure Distances

Technical Features

Measure distances and height data anywhere on the course

Snap-on to existing points, such as tee anchors, sprinklers, center of green, etc
Measure between just two points, or add multiple legs to the measurement

Use the powerful measure tool to easily measure any distance and calculate any change in elevation on the course. The measure tool provides a sub-centimeter level of accuracy in distance calculation. Additionally, each measure segment automatically calculates elevation change and degree of slope in centimeters accuracy.

With the ability to accurately measure and analyze elevation for all areas of your course, you can take control of your existing course layout, as well as take educated decisions about potential design changes and course improvements in the future.
