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 63 ft from its high point to its low: 967 ft down to 904 ft above sea level. Hole for hole, the 16th gives up 38 ft tee to green and the 12th climbs 16 ft.
Across the card the elevation is worth 42 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 7,032 against the 7,027 on the card. Elevation: USGS 3DEP (3DEP-1m).
