Frequently Asked Questions

How often should we conduct drone surveys of our golf course?

The optimal frequency depends on your specific needs and challenges. For most courses, we recommend quarterly surveys to track seasonal changes and address issues proactively. However, courses with specific challenges may benefit from more frequent assessments, while others might only need bi-annual surveys.

How long does it take to complete a drone survey of an 18-hole course?

A standard drone survey of an 18-hole course typically takes 1-2 days for data collection, depending on weather conditions and the specific services requested. Data processing and analysis usually require an additional 3-5 days before we deliver the final reports and insights.

Will drone flights disrupt play on our course?

We schedule our drone flights to minimize disruption to your operations. This often means early morning flights before play begins or working around your course's schedule. Our experienced pilots operate efficiently and safely, ensuring minimal impact on your players' experience.

How accurate are your green book maps?

Our green book maps are highly accurate, with contour measurements precise to within 5cm. We use advanced photogrammetry techniques and ground control points to ensure the highest level of accuracy in our 3D models and slope analyses.

How do we access the data and reports after the survey?

All data, maps, and reports are accessible through our secure online portal. You'll receive login credentials to access your course's information from any device. The portal includes interactive features that allow you to explore 3D models, compare historical data, and download reports as needed.
