Design Fairway Routes

Walk proposed fairway centerlines and measure hole lengths. Map tee locations and landing zones for optimal course layout.

Measure Greens & Hazards

Outline green complexes and measure bunker locations. Calculate areas for irrigation, drainage, and turf management planning.

Calculate Yardages

Measure hole distances from multiple tee positions. Verify yardages for scorecards and course rating submissions.

How Golf Designers Use LandLens

Course Routing & Layout

Walk proposed fairway routes on raw land. Map hole sequences, measure distances, and plan optimal course flow within site constraints.

  • Walk fairway centerlines and measure lengths
  • Position tee boxes and green locations
  • Optimize hole sequencing and transitions

Green Complex Design

Map green pad locations and measure complex areas. Plan approach angles, runoff areas, and greenside bunker placements.

  • Outline green perimeters and areas
  • Position greenside bunkers and hazards
  • Calculate turf areas for maintenance budgets

Renovation & Restoration

Document existing course conditions for renovation projects. Measure as-built features and compare to original design intent.

  • Map existing fairways and greens
  • Verify current hole yardages
  • Plan renovation improvements

Course Documentation

Create accurate course records for ratings and maintenance. Export measurements for construction drawings and course guides.

  • Generate yardage documentation
  • Export for course rating submissions
  • Create maintenance area records

Frequently Asked Questions

How do golf course designers use LandLens for course layout?

Walk proposed fairway routes and measure hole distances. Map green locations, bunker placements, and hazard positions. Calculate fairway areas and yardages for course design.

Can I measure existing courses for renovation?

Yes! Map existing fairways, greens, and features to create accurate as-built documentation. Use measurements as baseline for renovation and redesign projects.

What formats can I export for course design software?

Export to KML, GeoJSON, and Shapefile formats. Import measurements into AutoCAD, SketchUp, and golf design software for detailed course planning.
