With the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am being played this week I thought I’d take a look at the spectacular Golf Links course layout on the internet.
After some digging around, I found a great flyover of the Links course at Golf Frontier, a very cool website that provides free virtual flyovers for many courses and detailed course information for 20,000+ courses around the world.
While virtual flyovers aren’t available for all courses, they’re provided for all of the top US courses. Here’s what the Pebble Beach flyover looks like:
In addition to the course flyover, there is an interactive course layout feature which allows you to flyover each hole at your own pace (the virtual flyover is a bit fast), with multiple fairway yardages for each hole. Here’s a snapshot of the 4th hole at Pebble Beach.
While both the virtual flyover and interactive course layout use Google Maps imagery, you don’t need to have Google Maps installed, unlike some other golf course flyover tools. It’s also free, which isn’t the case with some of the other sites. It’s definitely worth a look.
Incidentally, I think I saw this guy on the 7th tee!
