StrackaLine Scans One of Colorado’s Best Courses
Members of Country Club of the Rockies Will Have Access to Industry-Leading Greens Guides
San Diego, Calif. — StrackaLine, maker of golf’s best and most popular greens guides, continues to expand its network of courses, adding Country Club of the Rockies to a growing roster of clubs that want to provide players with cutting edge technology.
Country Club of the Rockies, located in Edwards, Colo., is one of the state’s premier courses. The Jack Nicklaus design is the 11th best layout in Colorado, according to Golf Digest, and has been ranked among Golfweek’s top 100 “Best Modern Courses” in America.
The links-style design features rolling terrain and four holes that play along and across the Eagle River, complementing Nicklaus’ architectural work with stunning natural beauty.
Using a 3-D laser scanner, the StrackaLine team scanned each green at the Country Club of the Rockies, collecting millions of data points that were used to produce greens maps that are accurate down to the millimeter.

“We look forward to providing members of the Country Club of the Rockies with StrackaLine’s best-in-the-game greens guides,” said Jim Stracka, president of StrackaLine. “The club is an ideal partner as it has a membership that enjoys the best game has to offer, and StrackaLine will enhance their enjoyment of one the region’s premier clubs.”
StrackaLine worked in conjunction with the USGA to ensure its greens guides were in compliance with the governing body’s new interpretation of Rule 4.3, allowing the company to continue providing its best-in-the-game greens maps to professionals and amateurs.
The quality and accuracy of StrackaLine’s greens guides have led to widespread adoption on the PGA, LPGA, Symetra and Web.com tours, in addition to their use by more than 300 Division I college teams.
StrackaLine scans courses for $1,500 and that includes 100 greens guides for resale. The scanning process takes five hours to complete and is unobtrusive to the golfer experience.
StrackaLine now has 900+ courses scanned, including some of the nation’s most prominent layouts. Use of the greens guides at all levels of the game has surged, and the company now counts nearly every Division I golf program among its users.
The greens maps, which feature easy to read arrows, allow players to view contour and fall lines, in addition to slope percentage, anywhere on the green.
