Tara Iti and Cape Kidnappers

Post by linkster »

Just giving everyone an update that I have both Tara Iti and Cape Kidnappers in the APCD. I have not passed on the files to the perspective designers but that will soon happen.

Still working on Tara Iti to get the green shapes right. Couldn't find a good Google Earth image that has clarity of the green shapes but the New Zealand LINZ data service has some of the best quality GIS data I have worked with. I'm comparing the elevation contour lines and the satellite imagery in QGIS to define the green shapes as best as I can.

Both of these courses are high in the ranking lists out there but after having a closer look at them they are true jems! It will be a good day when these courses get finished!

Exciting stuff mate. I always found the lack of clarity for the greens the biggest off-putting factor.

Once again, thank you for the incredible work you do for us designers and the Links community in general.

Yes Tot Hill Farm can be done. I got the elevation data from the same source as Tobacco Road and Pinehurst. It's a little dated from 2015 and in an odd pixel size of 3.125 ft but I can do Tot Hill Farm. Do you have a designer in mind who could finish it for you?

Linkster,

I was hoping I could con Sage into doing it. If he is to busy, it would be nice if anyone of these great designers could take it on.
