* Yardage Book customers who select Courseflight™ High Altitude will not have an online preview site or sample hole as the flyovers will be created directly from approved yardage guide graphics.

CourseFlight™ Change and Review Policy

The goal of a CourseFlight™ flyover is to provide the viewer with a general overview of the golf hole and it's surrounding environment. While the flyovers appear quite realistic, it is not intended to be an exact detailed replication of what exists or may exist in real life. The overall objective is to give the viewer a general "feel" for your property, generate interest in your golf course and ultimately drive traffic and sell tee times. To this end, we need to carefully monitor and control the change and review process to ensure that we focus on what is important to the golfer and don't get bogged down in details that ultimately do not impact the overall effectiveness of the flyover.

With the exception of existing yardage book customers who choose the "high altitude" option, all customers will be give the opportunity to review and if required, request modifications to the flyovers prior to completion. Customers will be presented with a sample hole near the beginning of the project to verify the treatment of fairways, rough, native areas, water, vegetation, etc. Once the sample hole is approved, development of the remaining holes will continue.

Non-Chargeable Changes

Below are some examples of change requests that we would deem as non-chargeable changes that would be included with the CourseFlight™ package price:

1) Key golf features missing such bunkers, hazards, paths, etc.

2) Incorrect sizing of key features such as a signature tree that comes into play off the tee.

3) Incorrect mounding or elevation that would impact the way the hole is viewed or played.

4) Incorrect or misplaced background vista photo.

Chargeable Changes

Below are some examples of change requests that we would deem as chargeable changes outside the scope of the CourseFlight™ package:

1) Any changes to the treatment of fairways, rough, native areas, water, vegetation, etc. after the sample hole has been approved.

2) Changes to the size and position of insignificant trees or vegetation that do not directly impact play on the hole.

3) Minor mounding or elevation that would not impact the way the hole is viewed or played.

4) Changes to background vista photos (i.e. remove power lines, houses, etc.)

5) Any other changes which do not directly impact the way the hole is viewed or played.

Chargeable changes will be made upon request at the hourly rate of $75.00

Low Risk Offer Exclusive for Architects

If after completion of the sample hole you feel CourseFlight™ does not accurately reflect your design you may elect to terminate the CourseFlight™ agreement. Architects will only be charged a one time fee of $300.00 plus any chargeable changes.
