Course Measurement

If you make changes to the course layout or tees, it's essential to have a specialist measure and certify the course in accordance with the specification in the WHS Course Rating Manual - Section 6. Using the latest laser measuring equipment, K&M Golf's experienced team, have measured and certified hundreds of golf courses throughout the UK. Certification certificates are issued for the Medal, Forward Mens and Ladies courses which are recognised by all the golf unions. A recent certified course measure is a prerequisite to having your course rated by your local golf union in accordance with the new World Handicap System of play.

How Measurements are Made

Each hole is measured horizontally (air line) to the nearest yard using surveying instruments from the permanent marker for every tee to the centre of the green. A hole with a dogleg is measured on a straight line from each permanent marker to the centre of the fairway at the pivot point. If the pivot point is not easily discernable, a pivot point that is approximately 250 yards from the most commonly played tee for each gender is used. The measurement must continue from that point on a straight line to the centre of the green or the next pivot point, if applicable.
