The greens here
9 greens at Hedgehope have been mapped from the national LiDAR survey — 1,476 m² of putting surface altogether, with a median green of 157 m². That puts them in the smallest tenth in the country — 60% below the national median of 397 m².
- Steepest green: green i, averaging 7.9% and falling north-west.
- Flattest green: green b, at 0.3%.
- Most internal fall: green i, 1.15 m between its low and high point.
- Largest green: green f, 219 m².
Every green
| Green | Size | Fall | Avg grade | Runs off to the |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Green A | 157 m² | 0.88 m | 7.8% | west |
| Green B | 139 m² | 0.14 m | 0.3% | north-west |
| Green C | 148 m² | 0.46 m | 3.3% | north-west |
| Green D | 192 m² | 0.24 m | 0.8% | south-east |
| Green E | 155 m² | 0.29 m | 1.5% | south-west |
| Green F | 219 m² | 0.90 m | 2.5% | south |
| Green G | 160 m² | 0.40 m | 2.9% | south-east |
| Green H | 141 m² | 0.49 m | 3.4% | west |
| Green I | 166 m² | 1.15 m | 7.9% | north-west |
“Fall” is the height difference between the lowest and highest point of the putting surface. “Avg grade” is the best-fit plane across it — a green can average 2% and still have a shelf on it, which is what the app shows and a table cannot.
Where these numbers come from
Heights come from Land Information New Zealand’s 1 m LiDAR elevation survey (Southland, 2020-2023), published openly under CC BY 4.0. Green outlines and hole numbers come from OpenStreetMap under the Open Database Licence. Slope uncertainty on this course works out at ±0.15%.
Slope is measured. Break is modelled — the read in the app is a physics simulation of a ball rolling over the measured surface, and it knows nothing about grain or moisture. The survey predates any green rebuilt since 2023. More about how this is made.
