Google Earth Goes Golfing
Recently in my conquest for a respectable golf course at a low price, I found a very useful website. Using Google Earth, gogolfing.org is a real view directory of golf courses in the US.
In addition to the golf course contact information, you can see at a satellite map level by zoom in what the course looks like and how the course design and layout is. Trees, sand traps, whether the lakes have water in them, and even if the parking lot is full or not.
I have found this very useful as many courses have a digitalized or Photoshop version of the golf course. Many times these do not give you a proper representation of the way the course looks in real life.
With Google Maps using gogolfing.org you can actually see what you will be playing via fly by. Incredibly cool! Fore!
