Golf courses

Your course as a digital map. Centimetre-accurate, captured in one day.

We fly your course by drone and deliver an orthophoto, elevation model and 3D model. In the MapApp, greenkeeping and management measure, plan and document on the same basis.

What you get

One basis for maintenance, planning and presentation.

Old maps rarely match the course. After the flight your whole facility is captured and up to date, and everyone on the team works with the same data.

  • Orthophoto of the entire course at a ground resolution of a few centimetres
  • Surface and terrain models for heights, slopes and volumes
  • 3D model for your website, members and redesign planning
  • Hole measurement to German Golf Association (DGV) rules, included in the start package
  • All data also available as a download, usable in QGIS, ArcGIS and CAD

Pricing

Map once, stay current every year.

The start package contains everything you need for the digital course map. After that you decide each year whether to have the course flown again or simply keep using the app.

Start without a flight

Register starter for €1,490.

Want to reliably find sprinklers, valve boxes and pipes first? With the RTK kit your greenkeepers survey the points themselves, and they appear directly in the MapApp on the official aerial image.

  • RTK kit and MapApp for 12 months
  • Positions to within a few centimetres, no surveying skills required
  • If you move to the start package later, we credit the amount

The app shows its full value with drone data: only with your own orthophoto and elevation model can you measure heights, slopes and volumes.

Use cases

What clubs use the data for.

Hole measurement to DGV rules

Course measurement

Lengths and areas to the rules of the German Golf Association, measured on the georeferenced model. The tool is also available to you in the app.

NDVI analysis of a green from multispectral drone data

Maintenance and monitoring

Spot stress, drought and damage early, locate measures and document them year on year.

3D model of a golf course

Redesign and drainage

Elevation profiles, slopes and earthwork quantities from the terrain model. Planning and billing on one data basis.

Reference

GC Schloss Westerholt: every year since 2018.

We have flown Golfclub Schloss Westerholt every year since 2018, plus six additional flights for individual projects. The greenkeeping team uses the MapApp as its digital course map and irrigation register. Our sensors in the greens measure soil temperature and moisture.

FAQ

Short answers.

Does the flight disturb play?

No. The drone flies high above the holes and the capture runs during normal play.

How long until we have the result?

The flight usually takes one day. Processing then runs automatically, and you receive access to the MapApp a few days later.

Do we need to install software?

No. The MapApp runs in the browser on PC, tablet and smartphone and can be installed like an app. It works offline in the field and syncs later.

Who owns the data and where is it stored?

The data is yours. Every club gets its own separate instance on servers in Germany. Everything is also available as a download.

We already use greenkeeping software. Does this fit?

Yes. The MapApp does not replace maintenance planning, it provides the accurate map for it. Areas and objects can be exported as shapefile or GeoJSON.

What would your course look like as a digital map?

We show you in 15 minutes using a real course and give you the price for yours.
