Alister we are going to have to agree to disagree. You do a good job doing it your way but we have different methods, opinions and standards. And that’s fine. The way I see it it’s like doing a portrait. You can guarantee a good likeness by tracing a photo; but you can do just as well or better freehand with the right references and techniques. For me OSM is a starting point, like a lay in or preliminary sketch, laying out rough proportions and relationships.

Yes, National Map. I really was hoping to do Lookout Mountain (GA) or Ohoopee Match Club (GA). I just used the tool for Ohoopee and everything worked fine. I need to do the OSM editing for it. Scratch that. OSM is edited, but is not being generated in Chad's tool. I can only see 2018 LidAR data for Ohoopee, and course opened in 2019. Or maybe I have that wrong?

Yeah, I saw "published in 2021" and got excited. I'm going to keep trying until I get a course that works. I have a few other ideas. After dinner at least. Thanks for your help so far!

There not much that you would need to do to do The Minikahda Club, just spline and or update a few bunkers, the greens and fairways appear to ready to go. EDIT: A few fairways near a few bunkers and the cartpaths need a little work. ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq70/923/wzGgm1.jpg)

I also got another course to work, The Country Club of Tennessee. It's a doozy in the mountains. ![](https://i.ibb.co/RpGwLt3/PGA-TOUR-2-K23-5-16-2024-12-43-32-PM.png)

BaconJunkie1Thanks. I got it to work as well. I'm going to try a few others tonight and then decide which one to finish. Any idea what the correct EPSG is for Muscle Shoals, AL is? I'm looking at that 8000 yard beast Fighting Joe.

I use LASTools to get EPSGs, the latest .laz file for thecourse there didn't give me the .txt file I was looking for but an older version did .... try 6345. The method that works for me is covered in this "How To" that I wrote, it looks like a lot but once setup, it takes seconds to get the EPSG provided the .laz/.las file gives the right type of .txt file. If not, just leave the EPSG box empty, it that doesn't work, this is your best route .... spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/

That's why I use Stealth to faithfully recreate the "exact" tee boxes, fairway splines, greens and bunkering from google maps as close as I can anyway. It's what I did at Ballyhack. The OSM data was OK, but still needs cleaning up in the designer.

BaconJunkie1Thanks again for all your help. I got Fighting Joe to work, but whoever did the OSM editing didn't do a complete job. Next question - when I did this course in Chad's tool, the mask didn't really mask anything. There's another course there that I tried to get rid of and it's still there. Does the mask just limit the elevation data area? I suppose I don't mind having the other course in view, but it pushes the course I want all the way to the edge of the plot and that looks bad.

The mask just reduces the resolution of the elevation data under the red to the point that it doesn’t hurt the meters. Look carefully and you can see the join. To maximise meters mask everything that isn’t a playing surface. Particularly important in lumpy terrain which can kill your meters. You can fix the joins later. Hats off to Chad for the mask feature. It works really well.
