From a shade & light analysis
16 of 18 greens get adequate season light for creeping bentgrass. Two more sit within ten percent of the line.
May–October season light vs 30 mol/m²/day (Russell, Karcher & Richardson (2019), Crop Science 59(4):1768–1778) · modeled · a client course · method
A shade and light analysis maps the whole course by drone and models the light every green gets through the seasons, so you can see which greens fall short for your grass, which trees cost them the most light, and how closed-in each green is to air movement. Each green is rated for your grass, and the trees shading it are ranked by the light they cost it. You, your arborist and your agronomist decide what to do.

Greens books — yardage and green-reading books for the pro shop.
Built from our own drone survey of your course, printed with your club's cover, and sold in your pro shop.

Map
Atlas — know where your infrastructure actually is.
An Atlas base map set, irrigation mapping and drainage from one survey visit.
See AtlasCortex is all-in-one course management software built around an interactive 3D digital twin of your course: a command center where the crew's work, the records and the alerts sit on the course itself. Its base layers are the same maps as your Atlas sheets. In our greens books, every hole and green is drawn from the survey, with yardages, slopes and fall lines.
