The Downs Course is a golf course in the United Kingdom. 18 holes are surveyed here from OpenStreetMap, 6,962 yd6,367 m of playing length in total, at par 72. The longest hole is number 16 at 600 yd549 m, the shortest number 12 at 157 yd144 m. Worked out in advance: the distance to the front and the back edge of the green for 18 holes as well as the carry distance over 55 bunkers for 18 holes. For 17 holes the elevation change between tee and green is on record as well.
Every hazard carries two numbers: the first reaches its near edge, the second carries past it. Drawn from OpenStreetMap, exactly as the app draws it.

For 17 of the 18 holes the elevation profile is calculated. Hole 2 has the most cumulative elevation change along the played line: 39 yd (19 yd up, 20 yd down; -1 yd net tee to green).Hole 2 has the most cumulative elevation change along the played line: 35 m (17 m up, 18 m down; -1 m net tee to green). The basis are official elevation models (GB-EA).
Two numbers to every hazard: the first reaches its near edge, the second carries past it. Land between the two and you are in it.

The basis is the map of this course in OpenStreetMap. Lengths, distances to the green edge and carry distances are calculated from it, not copied: every hole is projected onto its line of play and the arc length from the tee is counted. This replaces neither an official course measurement nor the club's scorecard. If you spot a mistake you can report it through the course page in the app, map it in FairwayMapper or correct it in OpenStreetMap straight away. Data as of 2026-09-14.
