I have used both Puttview and Strackaline books. I do not get the green heat maps. So, I might not be able to offer opinion on that. I only use normal yardage since they are legal for tournaments.

I do have a Mark Long book for Copperhead here. His books are the best around, but they only do them for tour courses.

I agree on Stracka...very good and lots details....

George Lucas (not to be confused with Star Wars George) used to produce ALL the tour books back in the day until one of the tour book companies bought him out when he retired.

Cheers!

GOLFLOGIX also makes nice yardage books,

I have used putview and strackaline. They are both great options!

I currently have Puttview books for both of my home courses. In the past I have ordered both Puttview and GolfLogix books and then used my wife’s scrapbook tape gun/paper cutter to combine the two. I have some Strackaline books for courses that I play frequently also.

If you can’t find a book that has both distances and greens maps the key is to decide what is more important to you. Most of us likely need help on the greens rather than the distance. A range finder or GPS in the cart will give you the distances you need (I’ve moved towards just looking at the front/middle/back of the green and ignoring the distances to the pin).

Also some of the handheld GPS/phone apps are coming loaded with the greens maps which is something to explore.

I highly recommend Strackaline. Includes both yardage and green maps. The heat maps make it easy to gauge slope. Legal for tournament play. Golflogix books are good also.

Guy appreciate the feed back I have just ordered a couple for local courses from strackaline

Again thanks all for the feed back

Another vote for Strackaline. I actually use it more to help judge the wind than anything else. On each hole they have a compass and it is easier to navigate tricky winds if you check the weather forecast. The green heatmap is also a huge help for me

Strackaline is the one to use. Plenty of space to make notes and just a clean design.

Conquer with Strackaline. I use it to notate what club was used and where I missed.

I’m fairly new to yardage books and it takes some time to get used to but can see it helping me on course management.
