OK, I was able to successfully find usable LIDAR for Overhills and import it into my software. This is definitely going to be the next project for me after Lido. I'm really busy with some other things in the next few months, but here is a sneak peak based on 15 minutes of messing with the file. I'll move it to an Overhills thread in the future or will maybe start a new one so that I don't hijack what has already been done there.
OVERHILLS:
The first hole that I identified was the 5th, a dramatically uphill par 3.
But the strange thing is that the scorecard and the aerial images for this show that there was a green perched on top of the hill about 170 from the tee. However, in the ground, at least to my eye, there is a green complex further back that sits about 205-210 from the tee. There is a really clear bunker carve out and it is a nicer table top than where the aerials show the green. Did Ross originally create a hole that was later scaled back? This is just an example of what is neat about this process. Here is a screenshot of the 210 yard green complex from the left side of the fairway (note that I didn't touch the ground, just quickly painted on green, fairway, and sand). I also added a green where the aerial and scorecard shows it. That long strip bunker is in back of the shorter green, but fronts the longer one.
There is clearly only one teeing ground because it is a really flat spot before the steep uphill climb to the hole. That deep smaller bunker shown in the image below would make no sense in the shorter version of this hole, so it wouldn't exist. However, 210 with this severe upslope and a semi blind fronting bunker also seems extremely difficult even with modern clubs. Maybe it was supposed to be a par 3/4 in the beginning? Hopefully Ross's drawings are preserved to shed light on this.
The longer green that fits my theory really looks green-like in the contouring:
Here are just a few other pics of the course with the surfaces that I splashed down:
Approach to the 4th w/ fairway only. No green or sand. But the bunkers and the green complex are clear.
Approach to the 15th. This green is perfectly clear, especially in back where the table top ends.
Brian- thanks for the suggestion on this course. This is highly doable and will be really fun to restore, especially the back nine since it has been out of commission for so long.
