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 110 ft from its high point to its low: 768 ft down to 658 ft above sea level. Hole for hole, the 4th gives up 48 ft tee to green and the 18th climbs 67 ft.
Across the card the elevation is worth 2 yards more 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 6,522 against the 6,521 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.
