The present invention relates to the technical field of automated measurement, disclosed herein are a method and system for automatically generating a hole location map for a golf course. The method comprises: acquiring latitude and longitude data for all fairway central points or green central points, latitude and longitude data for all green front edge points and latitude and longitude data for all hole location points of the day; on the basis of the longitude and latitude data of the hole location points of the day, and the longitude and latitude data for the fairway central points or green central points and the green front edge points which correspond to the hole location points of the day, calculating hole location data for each hole location point of the day; and generating a hole location map for the golf course for the day according to the hole location data for each hole location point of the day. The method is highly automated, eliminating the need to manually measure hole locations and manually fill in a hole location map for a golf course, which not only saves time and manpower, also effectively avoids the large errors of manual measurement as well as erroneously recording deviation values and erroneously filling in the hole location map, and greatly improving the accuracy of location positioning.
