To achieve the bunker look you can use a two layer polygon fill symbol, and cartographic representations. The only thing I like less than rough is a bunker. The final rough symbol is shown below (figure 7). These will be the two darkest greens on the hole (we are assuming deep, thick, lush rough). Change the Foreground color to a dark green (R83, G143, B51), and change the Background color to a slightly lighter green (R94, G161, B54). Select the Picture Fill Symbol type and select the grass.bmp provided by Esri.

The rough is symbolized using a single layer Picture Fill symbol. The final green symbol is shown below (figure 6).

The top layer is a Simple Fill Symbol type with a darker green for the outline (R130, G184, B106) and the fill set to No Color to represent the fringe.

Set the angle to 180 degrees to create a hatch pattern along with the second layer.

The third is a Line Fill Symbol type in a slightly darker shade of green (R173, G199, B125).

However, set the line width to 3 pts and the separation to 6 pts.

The second layer is a Line Fill Symbol type in a darker shade of green (R181, G209, B125).

The bottom layer is again a Simple Fill Symbol in a light shade of green (R186, G224, B153) to create the base for the symbol.

To speed things up, you can simply edit the fairway symbol. The only real differences are some slight color and width changes, and a variation in the angle of the line symbols.

The symbol for the green is created in a fashion very similar to the fairway symbol. To 3 putt or not 3 putt that is the question. The final fairway symbol is shown below (figure 5).įigure 5. Set the width to 5 pts (figure 4).įigure 4: The top layer of the checkered fairway symbol Set the fill to No Color to symbolize only the outline which will represent the fairway collar.

For the top layer select the Simple Fill Symbol type and choose a darker green for the outline (R130, G184, B106).

For this layer change the angle to 125 degrees to create a hatch pattern along with the second layer (figure 3).įigure 3: The third layer of the checkered fairway symbol

For the third layer copy and paste the second layer and choose a slightly darker shade of green (R174, G199, B167).

Also set the angle to 55 degrees (figure 2).įigure 2: The second layer of the checkered fairway symbol Set the width to 5 pts and give the lines a 10 pt separation.

For the second layer select the Line Fill Symbol type and choose a darker shade of green (R182, G209, B176).

For the bottom layer select the Simple Fill Symbol type and choose a light shade of green (R186, G224, B173) to create the base for the symbol (figure 1).įigure 1: The bottom layer of the checkered fairway symbol.

To achieve a checkered fairway symbol, you can use a four layer polygon fill symbol.

Wouldn’t it be nice to play from the middle of the fairway each hole?

I felt qualified to answer this because I had worked on a golf course for seven years making those checkered patterns! In this blog entry I want to show you not only how to make that checkered symbol, but also other tips on how to design an entire golf course hole. “Can you please tell me how to make a fairway look like checkerboard in shades of green?” Whether you golf or not, how many of you have had to make a map of a golf course? A while back, one of you asked us on Ask a Cartographer how to make the checkered pattern found on a golf course: How many of you out there are golfers? Can any of you remember your lowest round? I can – I shot a marvelous 83! Sure it was over 9 holes, but I was playing from the Pro’s tee box…
