The greens here
10 greens at Maxwell's Golf Retreat have been mapped from the national LiDAR survey — 2,538 m² of putting surface altogether, with a median green of 247 m². The national median is 397 m², so these run 38% smaller than average.
- Steepest green: green j, averaging 4.9% and falling north.
- Flattest green: green h, at 1.9%.
- Most internal fall: green i, 0.80 m between its low and high point.
- Largest green: green f, 342 m².
Every green
| Green | Size | Fall | Avg grade | Runs off to the |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Green A | 258 m² | 0.77 m | 3.7% | north |
| Green B | 288 m² | 0.53 m | 2.1% | north-west |
| Green C | 235 m² | 0.75 m | 4.5% | north |
| Green D | 194 m² | 0.41 m | 2.7% | north |
| Green E | 276 m² | 0.78 m | 3.1% | north |
| Green F | 342 m² | 0.65 m | 2.8% | north-west |
| Green G | 306 m² | 0.69 m | 2.8% | north |
| Green H | 209 m² | 0.54 m | 1.9% | north-west |
| Green I | 227 m² | 0.80 m | 4.5% | north |
| Green J | 204 m² | 0.78 m | 4.9% | 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 (Auckland Part 1, 2024), 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 2024. More about how this is made.
