The greens here
9 greens at Kaituna have been mapped from the national LiDAR survey — 4,993 m² of putting surface altogether, with a median green of 561 m². The national median is 397 m², so these run 41% larger than average.
- Steepest green: green d, averaging 3.9% and falling west.
- Flattest green: green c, at 0.4%.
- Most internal fall: green d, 1.41 m between its low and high point.
- Largest green: green f, 673 m².
Every green
| Green | Size | Fall | Avg grade | Runs off to the |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Green A | 576 m² | 0.40 m | 0.8% | north-east |
| Green B | 460 m² | 0.48 m | 1.4% | north |
| Green C | 466 m² | 0.13 m | 0.4% | north |
| Green D | 558 m² | 1.41 m | 3.9% | west |
| Green E | 582 m² | 0.68 m | 1.5% | south-west |
| Green F | 673 m² | 0.90 m | 0.8% | east |
| Green G | 499 m² | 0.77 m | 1.6% | north |
| Green H | 561 m² | 0.60 m | 0.5% | north-west |
| Green I | 619 m² | 0.84 m | 1.3% | north |
“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 (Banks Peninsula, 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.
