Aerial view of The Challenge at Manele, HI, with its hole routing marked — The Challenge at Manele: aerial with the routing drawn from mapped course geometry. Imagery: USDA NAIP / USGS

Elevation

Drops 578 ft from its high point to its low: 574 ft down to -4 ft above sea level. Hole for hole, the 6th gives up 115 ft tee to green and the 15th climbs 37 ft.

Across the card the elevation is worth 142 yards less than the measured yardage.

Plays-like is a geometric adjustment and nothing more: one yard of playing distance per yard of tee-to-green elevation change, measured off public elevation data. It takes no account of wind, lie, temperature or how a falling ball stops, so it is not a club recommendation, and the green maps are surface gradient only, and they are not a read of the break. Mapped yardage totals 6,008 against the 7,033 on the card. Elevation: USGS 3DEP (3DEP-1m).
