For more accurate yardage, I would use the Greenskeeper (GK) website’s scorecard for the Rustic Canyon (RC) GC. When you compare GK’s scorecard with the RC golf course’s “official” scorecard there are 10 tees that have a difference of more than 20 yards. Need proof that Greenskeeper’s scorecard is more accurate? On the Rustic Canyon’s 10th tee, the yardage between the black and blue tee physically measures out to be 28 yards, which agrees with the GK’s website scorecard. The Rustic Canyon “official” scorecard indicates the difference between the 10th tee's black and blue tee markers is only 7 yards. This is a 21 yard error. I checked 5 other tee yardages and found the Greenskeeper’s scorecard to be correct and the Rustic Canyon “official” scorecard to be incorrect by more than 20 yards. The Rustic Canyon GC management was notified of their “official” scorecard yardage errors on 9/12/05.
