    Has anybody used the low level oblique aerial photographic course guides by 3DEagleview. They have guides at Waterville, Lahinch, Tralee, Dooks, Killarney, Portmarnock Links, PGA National, The Heritage, Mount Juliet, Portrush & St Andrews(7courses) I have been creating these for the last number of years and would love to here the golfers feedback.

    I am a big fan of them... well, I have the Portmarnock Links one and a few of the St Andrews ones. I like using a course guide anyway and love the extremely clear way this type are presented... I can see at a glance that it's "x" distance to reach the bunker and that leaves me "y" to the middle of the green so you can at least try to play a course 'blind' and still play strategically.

    Used one recently at Portmarnock Links and it was first class.

    Glad the guides have been helpful to you lads, we have put in many hard years to produce the best out there and always looking for ways to improve. There is no hiding the fact that they are more expensive to produce than the regular course guides so do you think the golfer minds paying an extra few quid more for 3DEagleview guide over others? Also, with the advent of GPS in golf will you still buy a course guide?

    GPS isn't always allowed...
    The high quality guide is a keepsake in a way too which is nice.
    I dislike paying for crappy guides and don't mind paying for the good ones.

    I'd rather pay a tenner for a good guide than a fiver for a crap one. If i had a GPS and they were allowed to be used, i probably wouldn't bother so much with course guides. That said, if it's a new course it can be great to see where you're going on the tee before playing the hole.

    I think there will always be a place for course guides.

    We strive to make our course guides a product you want to keep for good and I hope print will always be popular even when everything is gone digital. We have a web tour product that might be helpful if you plan to play the new course at Concra Wood http://www.concrawood.ie/Hole-By-Hole-Tour

    Oh man... these guides are the best by far! The first time I saw one (in PGA National) I though they were beautifully painted, then I realised they were photographs.:eek: Doh! Just used the Portmarnock Links one two weeks ago and it really is brilliant. Keep up the good work.

    Used a different type of course guide recently and one thing that annoys me a little is when the guide has metres to the middle of the green but the on-course markers are metres to the front.
