The greens here
9 greens at Kapiti have been mapped from the national LiDAR survey — 2,534 m² of putting surface altogether, with a median green of 280 m². The national median is 397 m², so these run 29% smaller than average.
- Steepest green: green i, averaging 5.2% and falling north.
- Flattest green: green d, at 1.6%.
- Most internal fall: green g, 1.53 m between its low and high point.
- Largest green: green g, 372 m².
Every green
| Green | Size | Fall | Avg grade | Runs off to the |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Green A | 294 m² | 0.61 m | 2.8% | east |
| Green B | 241 m² | 0.40 m | 1.7% | south-east |
| Green C | 174 m² | 0.71 m | 4.1% | north-east |
| Green D | 346 m² | 0.36 m | 1.6% | north-west |
| Green E | 317 m² | 0.84 m | 4.0% | north-west |
| Green F | 249 m² | 0.79 m | 4.7% | north-west |
| Green G | 372 m² | 1.53 m | 4.5% | north-west |
| Green H | 261 m² | 0.94 m | 4.8% | east |
| Green I | 280 m² | 1.07 m | 5.2% | 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 (Kapiti Coast, 2024-2025), 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 2025. More about how this is made.
