This morning's announcement of the Longleaf Executive golf course opening on Saturday makes it a lot easier to show the flyovers that I completed this past week of these courses.
The newspaper write up does not do justice to the par 4 hole on Longleaf, while it's not #6 on Pelican, it will be a difficult hole.
One must assume that the Loblolly course is being delayed a little longer due to the heavy construction ongoing at the north end of the course at CR468. The tunnel structure is in place that will pass under CR468 but there is still a lot of work to go.
6. Longleaf and Loblolly
This video took over 30 hours and 10 flights to map out, get a good flyover, and produce. It may not seem too difficult since it's just a 9 hole course but without existing maps and other data on the area (everything available still shows it either under construction or a cow pasture) I had to create the data needed to plan the flights and fly them several times to get the views you see here.
Enjoy the video and let me know what you think.
