Golf Course Management with Global Mapper Pro
From golf course maintenance, to simulator integration, understanding the terrain will optimize any project. The advanced tools in Global Mapper Pro provide post-processing and analysis of the greens including drone-collected. This includes but is not limited to slope analysis, classifying point clouds with cart paths and bunkers, and 3D modeling.

Global Mapper Pro users can extract a lot of meaningful information from the terrain of a course. Including: create and compare site plans, find the optimal place for a flat site; analyze movement of a golf ball; model how water will flow across the new terrain or plan drainage; and much more.
Point cloud classification is taken a step further with Global Mapper Pro's Custom Feature Classifications tool. Users can create a subclassification such as cart paths, bunkers, or green and train the model to the unique features.
Drones and UAV's offer the opportunity to gather high-resolution data of a course. Global Mapper Pro's Pixels to Points simplifies the processing of this data; users can create high quality orthoimages, 3D models, and 3D point clouds that can be classified.
Golf course maintenance requires extensive planning, agriculture, and attention to detail. Global Mapper Pro and its mobile application can provide a detailed insight into the land under management. Surveys and inspections in the field can be managed in a spatial database to measure usage and wear over time.
