FAQ's

We have tried to answer the most common questions.
Custom Course Maps
Questions specifically for our custom course maps.
Can you make my local course?
By far our most asked question. And the answer is yes. We can do any course in the world. We've never had to turn away a customer because we couldn't design their course.
We even done courses that have been closed for 20+ years!
How do I know the course design will be accurate?
We use the latest satellite, GIS, and topography maps to create the designs. Each map is designed by hand, we trace tee by tee, and bunker by bunker.
Furthermore, we're golfers, which means we know what to look out for when designing these maps.
What information do you need from me for my custom course order?
We need to know the course name and location. That's it!
Please send it in this format.
Arcadia Bluffs - South Course - Arcadia, MI.
We'll take care of everything after that.
Will you send me a proof to approve?
No, not typically. For a couple of reasons.
First, we've found that waiting for customer replies can put us behind schedule.
Second, we've made 2000+ golf maps with a 5/5 star rating. Not to sound arrogant, but we're good at making golf maps and we do ask our customers for a little trust in the process. This helps us stay on schedule.
Third, we work on a 100% satisfaction guarantee. We're proud of our work and we hope our customers are too. If there is anything wrong with your order upon receiving it, please reach out to us and we'll make it right!
With that said, exceptions can always be made. If you're looking for customizations, making a bulk order, or just really want to see a proof beforehand, reach out to us and we'll make it so.
