Some cool "bird's eye view" courses
« on: January 10, 2008, 03:21:43 PM »
Hey guys: I would never attempt to equal Scott's great AOTD collection (I have it on my favorites and look at it often), but I was fooling around with a cool feature on Microsoft Maps. It has a "bird's eye view" tab that lets you see selected areas on a very personal level.
I am probably not telling you anything you don't already know, but I have some links to some pretty cool places. Just click on the url and when it comes up, select "bird's eye view." Again, most of you probably already know about this (being a fellow golf architecture geek), but here it is nonetheless.

Pine Valley

Augusta National (on what looks to be a pretty busy day)

I never thought I 'd see the day when Seminole, Pine Valley, Olympic and Augusta Natl where mentioned in the same post with North Fluton Golf Course.

Thanks for posting I have not see this. Amazing clarity although about 2 1/2 years old--at least here:

This is a great service.  Their photos tend to be more current than Google Earth.

Lookup zip code 19520 to see Stonewall, Stonewall N, and French Creek all nestled along PA 345.

I've just started to look at this and find many don't have the birdseye view.  Do they generally have to be near large cities to have that birdseye feature?
No actual golf rounds were ruined or delayed, nor golf rules broken, in the taking of any photographs that may be displayed by the above forum user.

Interesting views of Sebonack under construction on the birds eye - and complete in the aerial.
