One of our members mlkidd9, provided a link where you can get elevation data for international courses.
You must register in order to download the elevation data (;its free).

The USGS service no longer provides DEMs in GEOTiff, you will need to get an alternate format, and then script a conversion to go to GEOTiff to use in 3DEM

Another source for elevation data for international course is Global Mapper. You have to be a registred member however. There are download versions on the internet.

That site will work fine Jevon, those are SRTM which 3DEM does process. I thought you were looking for US data from the USGS National Mapping site.

Hi J,

The plot looks a little hilly to me. 30M resolution. Ive passed it on. Canadian Course.
:) I usually use 10m resolution which is ideal.

Thanx for your help!
Jevon
