The greens here
18 greens at Te Ārai Links — North Course have been mapped from the national LiDAR survey — 14,790 m² of putting surface altogether, with a median green of 775 m². That puts them in the largest tenth of greens in the country — 95% above the national median of 397 m².
- Steepest green: hole 4, averaging 4.9% and falling east.
- Flattest green: hole 10, at 1.3%.
- Most internal fall: hole 18, 3.36 m between its low and high point.
- Largest green: hole 18, 1890 m².

“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 2, 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.
