RE: way/279588495

When drawing golf course areas (i.e. greens, fairways, bunkers, tees, etc.), please be aware that the ways (lines) used to outline those areas can't cross over each other. Fairway outlines shouldn't cross over greens or bunkers or other fairways for example. Take a look at osm.wiki/File:Golf.png for an example of the "Wrong" way to map a fairway and a green. There are some cases where a fringe exists around a green and you should draw the fairway outline completely around a green. Other times, the fairway and green butt up against each other. In that case the fairway and green should share the same nodes at the boundary between the two. When drawing these shared nodes, editors like iD will "snap" to an existing node if you get close enough. If you could go back and clean up where you've made this mistake, that would be great. But more importantly, if you could stop from doing this in the future, it would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions about golf course mapping, feel free to reach out. Thanks.

The water hazard that you created along the 18th hole overlaps with the bunker at the north end of the hole and the rough just below that. Please correct your water hazard or the bunkers/roughs so that they don't overlap. It's fine if they share nodes, but overlapping is no good. Thanks.

RE: way/1418821742

When you mapped the driving range in the URL above, you used something called "lollipop" mapping and that is the wrong way to represent what you're trying to map here. The right way to handle this (in the "iD" editor) is the draw the outer boundary for the fairway/driving-range, and then draw all the elements inside, and then select them all and "combine" ("merge") them into a multipolygon relation. Thanks

RE: way/874403301

Hey there Corey,

I just wanted to reach out real quick and let you know that shouldn't have added the fairway tag to the High Knoll hole. The hole is structured as a "multipolygon", meaning that there are multiple piece that define the shape of the hole. In this case, there is an outer boundary around the entire fairway, combined with and excluding the inner boundary of the green. I've fixed this, but wanted to let you know in case you came across a similar hole.

RE: way/892128195

As mentioned in my previous comments on a change you made, the lines that define fairways and greens must not cross over each other like you've done here at the green/hole named "Beginning" and "Double Green". Please make sure you clean those up and refrain from cross golf course areas like this in the future. Thanks.

RE: way/1417972338

Hey there Matub,

TL;DR You're missing a couple of shared nodes when you draw the boundary between the green/fairway in the above-mentioned link. Please make sure every node is shared. In this case, you missed node/13030728744 and triggered a Q/A check.

dang it!

sorry

RE: way/1417411338

Hey there dscott,

I've noticed this error several times in the past couple of days and wanted to bring it to your attention. You are doing a great job of sharing nodes between the fairways and the greens, but you will sometimes miss a single node (node/13025446812 in this case) and that will cause Q/A tools to flag that as an overlap and needing attention. Can you be extra careful and make sure all nodes are being shared and none are left out? Thanks!

(If you ever want to learn a more advanced tool like JOSM, you'll find that it has tools that make drawing of shared lines a breeze and will save you a lot of time. Reach out if you ever want to know more about that.)

oops

Thanks for the quick response. My first clue that something was amiss was that the unit number wasn't the hole number. If it was, I wouldn't have asked about this oddity. Out of curiosity, I'm assuming that these "addresses" are posted clearly on the course? I hope they stick mailboxes all over the course and affix reflective stickers to them. LOL

Are nodes like this one on a golf course valid?? node/9958323090

Thanks. I appreciate the effort. However, if you are unable to make sure every node snaps, it might be better if you just leave it as is and wait for me to get around to cleaning it up (since I will have to clean up yours as well.) You might as well save yourself the effort if it will just be changed shortly. I have fixed about 20,000 of those fairways so far this year and have about 10,000 more to go.

RE: way/1034601463

Please don't share the nodes of the green if you have the fairway surrounding the green. If you can't see any fringe around the green, you should make the fairway butt up to the green and share the nodes on the boundary *between* the green and fairway instead. Please read the wiki for visual examples and instructions on how to better map golf courses: leisure=golf_course#Common_mapping_pitfalls. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll gladly help clarify things. Thanks!

RE: way/1098845345

Hey there Camel, thanks for helping out with my golf course mapping challenge. I appreciate you lending a hand.

I wanted to let you know though, when you are drawing the nodes between the fairway and the green, you need to make sure every node is shared on the boundary. iD should "snap" the line when you get near the other existing node. If you don't do this, it will trigger a Q/A check for "overlapping" features. If this doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll try to clarify. Thanks!
