Technological Contributions to Course Construction

Assignment

Research the use of drone technology and photogrammetry in a specific golf course construction or renovation project — Pinehurst No. 2’s 2011 restoration or the construction of Cabot Cliffs are well-documented examples. Write a 400-word technical analysis explaining: what data the drone survey captured, how it was used in the design or construction process, and what would have been more difficult or less precise without it. Include at least one primary or near-primary source (a construction report, an interview with the design team, or a trade publication account).
