Golf
We keep our golf the way we keep our word — measured. Every course on this page is recorded by the numbers that matter: holes, par, yardage, the architect’s name and whether the gate is public or private, so that when the house map arrives it is drawn from fact and not from memory.
The courses, in relief
The house is modelling its courses as physical reliefs, drawn only from open survey data and each club's own published card. A course joins the atlas when its mapping is verified — never before.
Arriving with verified mapping
Big Canyon Country Club · Pelican Hill (Ocean North & Ocean South) · Newport Beach Golf Course · Strawberry Farms · Costa Mesa (Los Lagos & Mesa Linda)
StatusOpen mapping is partial for these courses; each is modelled when its ground can be drawn honestly.
Not yet mapped
Santa Ana Country Club · Shady Canyon Golf Club · Mesa Verde Country Club
StatusNo open mapping exists for these courses yet. The house does not invent ground — they join the atlas when we can map them from aerial survey ourselves.
Course Records
Nine facilities, eleven course records. Private clubs generally do not publish scorecards; where the research record gives an official scorecard or course page, the card says so.
