Hi Paul, Small world! My home town is Milan, IL (a Quad City wannabe)! Schrieber has 3D Surf and Golf Pack that may help you out. 3D Surf requires ASCII x,y,z spot elevations to generate a 3D terrain mesh. The Golf Pack is a collection of models such as golf balls, clubs, flags, and carts. Schrieber's number is 800-252-1024. There are other surface mesh generators available as well. I think that there is a shareware program here in the libraries and Vista Pro is a commercial program that might also generate the terrain that you want. The key to which programs will work for you lies in how you will present the model. Will you be flying the holes in an animated sequence? Or are you generating stills and just need the 3D shading effect? Steven
