Official yardage is the course’s published back-tee number; the yardage above it is measured from the mapped hole geometry, so the two can differ.
Elevation
Drops 86 ft from its high point to its low: 665 ft down to 579 ft above sea level. Hole for hole, the 9th gives up 39 ft tee to green and the 7th climbs 29 ft.
Across the card the elevation is worth 24 yards less than the measured yardage.

Green slope
1st and 2nd greens, of 18 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 6,633 against the 6,629 on the card. Elevation: USGS 3DEP (3DEP-1m).
