Quick answer
Most fairway edits are made by selecting the fairway in Map Manager and tapping Edit to open the Fairway settings panel. Doglegs are the exception — those have their own dedicated option. Once you've made your changes, remember to tap Publish to make them live on your course.
Editing doglegs
Go to the Map Manager tab of your Course Tools.
Select the fairway that needs to be updated.
Tap Add/edit doglegs.
Tap and drag a point on the fairway to match the shape of the hole — tap Add Point if you need another point.
Tap Confirm Doglegs.
Hole distance automatically follows the dogleg path you've set, rather than a straight line from tee to target — Map Manager recalculates and displays the updated distance live as you adjust each point, so a custom distance override usually isn't needed to account for a dogleg.
To remove a dogleg point, tap on it and tap the trash can icon to delete it.
Note: A fairway is a single object shared by every layout that uses that tee-to-target pairing. Editing a dogleg here updates it for every layout using that fairway — layouts always reflect what's set in Map Manager, they can't show a different dogleg shape on their own. Unlike par, there's no layout-level override for doglegs. The one exception is a brand-new fairway (including temporary or safari fairways) created in the Layout Builder — its dogleg can be set at creation time, before the layout is published. See How to edit an existing layout for that flow.
Editing par and distance
Go to the Map Manager tab of your Course Tools.
Select the fairway that needs to be updated.
Tap Edit to open the Fairway settings panel.
Adjust the Par field or tap the edit icon next to Distance to enter a custom distance.
Tap Save.
Tap Publish to make your changes live.
Note: The maximum allowed par is 6. If you only want to change the par for a specific layout rather than across all layouts, do that in the Layout Builder instead.
Custom distances are only appropriate for minor adjustments. Large discrepancies (more than 30 feet/10 meters) between GPS-calculated and custom distances reduce confidence in the layout difficulty and Round Ratings model and can disqualify your course. If the discrepancy is large, reposition your tee or basket instead to get a more accurate GPS-calculated distance. See Managing tee and target positions for how to do that. If the discrepancy is because of a dogleg, adjust the dogleg path instead — see Editing doglegs above — rather than entering a custom distance.
Adding hole notes
Hole notes let you add important details — like OB, mandos, and special rules — that appear directly on active scorecards.
What to include:
Use clear, player-friendly language (e.g., "Pathway and beyond OB").
Keep notes rule-focused — avoid strategy tips.
No profanity or inappropriate content.
Notes can be added at two levels in Map Manager:
On the hole — notes apply to all tee and target combinations on that hole, regardless of which layout or position is being played. Use this for rules that apply no matter how the hole is configured.
On the fairway — notes apply only to that specific tee and target combination. Notes set at the fairway level will override any notes set at the hole level. Use this when a rule or detail only applies to a specific configuration.
To add notes at either level, select the hole or fairway in Map Manager, tap Edit, enter your notes in the Notes field, and tap Save.
If a layout has unique rules — for example, for a league or event — you can override Map Manager notes at the layout level instead. This is done when editing the layout in the Layout Builder.
Map Manager doesn't currently support permanent OB lines, mando markers, or drop zone locations on the course map. These can't be added as fixed map elements. Hole notes are the best way to document these rules for players — use the Notes field to describe OB boundaries, mando requirements, and official drop zone locations in clear, player-friendly language so they appear on scorecards during play.
Adding tee sign images
You can upload photos of your tee signs so players see them on their scorecard during a round. See Adding tee sign images for how to upload them in Map Manager.
My tee signs don't match UDisc
If the pars or distances shown on your tee signs don't match what players see in UDisc, there are two things you can update in Map Manager:
Pars: Update the par for each hole in the Fairway settings panel — see Editing par and distance above.
Tee and target positions: Reposition tees and targets to match the placement and distances shown on your tee signs. See Managing tee and target positions for how to do that.
Updated par in Map Manager but layouts still show the wrong par?
If you've saved and published your par changes in Map Manager but one or more layouts are still showing the wrong par, the most likely cause is a par override set at the layout level. Layout-level overrides take priority over Map Manager — so even after you update Map Manager, a layout with an override will continue showing the override value until it's removed.
To check and remove a par override:
Go to Course Tools → Layouts and open the affected layout in the Layout Builder.
Find the hole showing the wrong par.
Tap the par field on that hole — if an override is set, you'll see an option to revert to the original par.
Revert the override, then tap Publish layout.
Repeat for any other layouts showing the wrong par. If you've removed all overrides and published but the par is still incorrect, ask to talk to a person in the chat — our support team will take it from there.
Note: If the layout showing the wrong par is a Classic Layout, this isn't an override or approval issue — Classic Layouts can no longer be edited at all, so a par change made elsewhere won't carry over to it. You'll need to convert it to a Smart Layout first. See How to edit an existing layout for conversion steps.
