26 ELEVATION SOURCES · 52,840 HOLES WITH ELEVATION · AS OF 2026-07-31

Everything on this site comes from somebody else. This page says who, under which licence, and where the dataset can be found.

MAP DATA

Every hole, every bunker and every green edge comes from OpenStreetMap, drawn by volunteers. The data is under the Open Database License (ODbL). Lengths and distances are calculated from it rather than copied; the result is under the same licence as the basis.

ELEVATION DATA

Elevations do not come from the map but from terrain models of the national surveys. In the data, every hole carries the code of the source its elevation difference comes from. 52,840 of 55,505 holes have an elevation.

The notices in the second column stand in the wording the respective licence asks for. They are not translated in any language version: a translated attribution would not be one.

The grid is the cell width of the model and thus the measure of how fine a rise is still caught. One metre means one height value per square metre. At 90 m a roll in the ground that is plainly felt on the hole disappears.

AERIAL IMAGERY

The aerial imagery under the map comes from a different survey authority depending on the region. Which one is on screen is named in the corner of the map itself, because it changes with the map section.

TYPE

Numbers and labels are set in IBM Plex Mono, © 2017 IBM Corp., under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. The licence does not ask for a credit on the page but for the licence text to travel with the font; it therefore sits in the same directory as the font files. Running text takes the font of the device and loads none.

WHAT IS NOT HERE

Weather and wind come from Open-Meteo and are not stored. What users enter themselves stays in their book and in no dataset. And where a source has no documented link, the table says so instead of us inventing one.
