Sorry, this isn't a tip or a trick but just curious.
Have any of you LiDAR doods tried to take a real plot of land that is not a golf course in real life and build a fictional course on it?

Yes, I took a seaside place I’ve been before with epic dunes and am making a fictional links course, it seems to work well but I think you need to know the area well otherwise you might as well use a pre generated plot and spam some hills for the same result with less meter usage

Didn’t think about the meter on LiDAR

Joe - I started to do this very thing, see Topo course, and got some ways down the line doing it before I decided that fictional courses were not in my wheelhouse and abandoned the idea. I will stick to Lidar RCRs. The method worked though, and even though the area I picked was fairly hilly it still left enough plant meter to work with.

Scarpacci did it on his Thompson Island Golf Club. (Thompson Island is in Boston Harbour.) He has a thread on HB forum about it, doesn't seem to post here anymore.
