Thanks for the responses. Even if there are blindspots, just having that confirmed will save me aggrevation.
Here is a summary of what I can see in these threads picture wise:
1) First: No pics
2) Plateau: No pics
3) Eden: 2 good pics. 1 of green and 1 of hole
4) Channel: 2 pics, both from teeing ground. Color photo even.
5) Cape: No pics
6) Dog's Leg: Pic of fairway
7) Hog's Back: 1 pic from distance of fairway. 1 pic of partial green.
8. Ocean: Great pics of shortened version of hole. Of original, there are 2 photos, both from well behind tee looking toward green.
9) Leven: There is 1 pic that shows the pool in the foreground and the fairway and green well in the background. Not bad though.
10) Alps: There is 1 pic of the approach/ green site.
11) Lagoon: There are 2 pics, both showig mainly the teeing ground from behind and forward.
12) Punchbowl: There is 1 pic of the green.
13) Knoll: No pics
14) Short: No pics
15) Strategy: No pics
16) Redan: No pics
17) Long: No pics
18) There is a sideways pic of the fairway
What will make this job easier is that the site is small at 115 acres and that my understanding is that it is very flat in the grand scheme of things. i.e. I'm assuming that the total elevation change on the whole property is within 15 feet and only consists of ripples? Also, the water table is going to be level. On 99% of courses, this is not the case and it makes it harder to model.
What is that plasticine map? Was that a photo of an actual clay relief? Or was it an illustration? Either way, is the understanding that it was an accurate representation of the undulations within each hole? I see blueprints mentioned- is that something separate and if so, are those public?
Based on everything I've learned, it sounds like the original version of the 8th hole was superior to the one that was moved inland. It's tempting to do the modified version since there is a perfect photo of it, but I think I'll take a shot at the original. I can imagine how great it must have been with the wind whipping in from the right. That shorter hole does look striking in its own way as sort of a stadium style hole.
Just to give you a feel for the quality of finished product, here is what Augusta and Chambers Bay look like after users replicated them with the software.
