How can you use drone LiDAR in your golf course design?

LiDAR and laser scanning have been around for quite a while.  Coupling this technology with a state-of-the-art drone opens the possibility to get much-needed and highly ACCURATE data.

Whether starting your course from an undeveloped lot or renovating a current course for your client, drone LiDAR is a dream for and golf course architect/engineer.  Drone LiDAR flies a mission over the property and scans the terrain with millions of laser points.  With these points referred to as a “Point Cloud”, we can create a highly accurate model of the terrain and its features. The LiDAR can even collect topographic data through dense trees and vegetation.
