⛳ Real Golf Courses. Real LiDAR. Real Simulation.
At LiDAR Golf, we are not simply simulator operators.
We are a technology company, a worldbuilding studio, and a team of film, visual effects, and game development professionals dedicated to creating the highest-quality golf simulator content possible.
🎯 Our mission is simple:
Build Western Canada's golf courses at AAA video game quality using professional LiDAR scanning technology and Unreal Engine-based development pipelines.
🛰️ What Is LiDAR Golf?
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a professional surveying technology capable of capturing millions of measurements of the real world with millimeter-level accuracy.
Today, LiDAR is used globally in:
🏗️ Construction
📐 Surveying
🚗 Autonomous Vehicles
🎬 Film Production
✨ Visual Effects
🎮 Video Games
🌎 Digital Twins
🏙️ Smart Cities
LiDAR Golf was founded around this technology.
In fact, we obtained the Canadian trademark for LiDAR Golf® in 2021. The trademark remains valid for 10 years, with renewal options available.
For us, LiDAR is more than technology.
⭐ It is our North Star.
It reminds us every day that great virtual worlds begin with great real-world data.
⛳ From Fairway to Simulator
1️⃣ Professional LiDAR Capture
Every project begins with professional-grade terrestrial LiDAR scanning.
We utilize survey-grade equipment and workflows supported by industry leaders such as Cansel, one of Western Canada's leading providers of surveying, geospatial, and scanning technology.
🎓 Our General Manager, Brad Oleksy, was trained on professional LiDAR workflows through training delivered by Cansel instructors during his career in the motion picture industry with IATSE Local 891.
The same technologies used to create digital doubles, virtual production environments, and blockbuster visual effects are now being applied to golf simulation.
📍 Capture Includes
⛳ Tee Boxes
🌱 Fairways
🎯 Greens
🏖️ Bunkers
🚗 Cart Paths
💧 Water Hazards
🏠 Clubhouses
🏌️ Practice Facilities
🌉 Bridges
🧱 Retaining Walls
🌲 Trees & Vegetation
🏔️ Elevation Changes
🌄 Terrain Features
2️⃣ Data Processing & Digital Twin Creation
LiDAR scanners generate enormous amounts of information.
Our team processes and stitches together millions of captured measurements into highly accurate digital terrain models.
The data is then optimized and converted into formats suitable for modern real-time game engines.
🔧 Processing Workflow
📡 Point Cloud Registration
🧹 Data Cleanup
🌎 Terrain Reconstruction
🔺 Mesh Generation
⚡ Optimization
🎨 Texture Development
🕹️ Unreal Engine Conversion
This stage transforms raw survey data into a production-ready foundation for course development.
3️⃣ AAA Environment Creation
Once the LiDAR foundation is complete, our development team begins environment production.
Our content pipeline draws upon decades of combined experience from:
🎮 Video Games
🎬 Film Production
✨ Visual Effects
🎥 Virtual Production
🎭 Motion Capture
🌎 Reality Capture
We work alongside artists and technicians represented by IATSE Local 212 to build content designed to meet modern AAA visual standards.
🎯 Our Goal
If a golfer knows the course in real life, they should recognize it instantly in the simulator.
We are not interested in creating "inspired by" versions of golf courses.
We want to build digital twins.
🚀 Built on Unreal Engine Technology
Golf simulation technology is entering a new era.
As Protee VX owners wwe are entitled to gain access to the Golfcore Beta platform near the end of Q2, allowing us to begin building next-generation golf course content using Unreal Engine technology.
🎮 Unreal Engine powers some of the most visually impressive games ever created.
As Golfcore evolves, LiDAR Golf will continue developing proprietary tools, workflows, and R&D pipelines designed to push visual quality and realism even further.
🔬 Areas of Ongoing Research
🛰️ LiDAR Data Processing
🌲 Vegetation Pipelines
☁️ Atmospheric Rendering
🏌️ Course Playability
📡 Automation Tools
🛠️ Asset Generation
⚡ Optimization Workflows
🎯 Simulator Accuracy
Our Objective
Local Courses. Global Quality.
Western Canada is home to some of the finest golf courses in the world.
We believe they deserve world-class digital representation.
