Green contour map of The Lakes in Palm Desert, California: 286 elevation contours at a 3-inch interval with fall-line arrows, traced from 1-meter lidar — One of 26 mapped greens at The Lakes. Cool colors sit low and warm colors high; white lines are contours at a 3-inch interval, and the arrows point down the fall line.

How the greens break

GolfCore traced 26 greens at The Lakes from USGS 3DEP 1-meter lidar, with 286 elevation contours at a 3-inch interval. The steepest measured slope is 7.6 percent, and the largest rise across a single green is 3.9 ft.

In the app the same map sits under your ball on every green, with the fall line drawn to the hole and the wind modeled at your position. At clubs that run GolfCore, the pins the shop sets each morning show up there too.

Elevation: USGS 3D Elevation Program, U.S. Geological Survey, National Geospatial Program (public domain), processed by GolfCore.
