Looking at the DEFRA website it seems that Golf Course misses out on Lidar data by one box,i am assuming in on the english/welsh border,i have only really found good data courses close to the coast,but i am no expert at all on it and it seems there are different ways to construct it on Lidar but its all above my head. I have found you still have to do alot of work in the designer to make it really playable with LIDAR,but the time it saves giving you the layout of the plot or even the course at times just saves weeks of work.Downside i have a very poor laptop and due to course file sizes you can't add as much as you want.Of Course others may disagree with this but its due to the equipment i am using,but with me doing links courses i just get by. PS if you do start to design on PS4 just make sure you save very often,nothing worst than 1-2 hours work being lost due to a crash,when you do something you like save it. Thanks mate, I assumed there would still be a lot of work but even just being able to trace the outline like you say would shave hours off just laying it out! Do you have to use the DEFRA website for the LIDAR data? At what clarity do you need the data? Thanks

Yes i only use the Defra website,and you need the best latest point cloud data.This is what i use,i think there are other ways to get data but like i said that's all above my head,like it simple from website below.Inland courses found it tricky finding good data,Close to the coast a lot better. environment.data.gov.uk/DefraDataDownload/?Mode=survey
