A putting green at Manawatu Golf Course, painted with its measured slope — green where it is flat, red where it falls away, with arrows showing which way a ball rolls.

The greens here

20 greens at Manawatu have been mapped from the national LiDAR survey — 9,335 m² of putting surface altogether, with a median green of 418 m². That is within a few percent of the national median of 397 m² — typical for New Zealand.

“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 (Manawatu Whanganui, 2022-2023), 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.
