Elevation
Drops 70 ft from its high point to its low: 1,237 ft down to 1,167 ft above sea level. Hole for hole, the 3rd gives up 23 ft tee to green and the 2nd climbs 22 ft.
Across the card the elevation is worth 5 yards more than the measured yardage.

Green slope
1st and 2nd greens, of 9 mapped here. The full set, every green, the medians and the lidar date, is made for the course itself.
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 2,789 against the 2,790 on the card. Elevation: USGS 3DEP (3DEP-1m).
Ratings
Ratings are editorial estimates; difficulty is derived from course length and par where hole data is mapped, so it is withheld here alongside them.
