Since two thirds of the total land in Taiwan belongs to the type of slope land, therefore most of the golf course development was on the slope land. The impact resulted from the development of golf course on environment is a serious and complex problem, so the impact is worth being studied. The study is to take the advantage of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems data bases, monitor landuse and analyze relational factors such as terrain, soil, geology, etc.. In order to realize the change of soil loss during different period of development, used the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation （ RUSLE） to estimate the amount of soil lost. The development of Chun-Kual golf course, located at Miaoli county, in central Taiwan, chose as a case study. In order to knowing the change of area in land cover and soil erosion loss, the 1992, 1993 and 1995 SPOT satellite images were used as the resource information. After information is extracted and classified, it used to estimate the changes of soil amount different periods. It expected that the result demonstrates reliability and precision information. The result indicated that the soil erosion is 520 tons per hectare per year during the development period. After the development finished, the soil erosion is 16.8 ton per hectare per year. For the original forest land, the amount of soil erosion is 1.67 tons per hectare per year. In comparison with the soil erosion from different period, it shows that golf course development will cause a lot of soil erosion over 100 times than the amount of original forest. Therefore, the developments of golf course on slope land cause a significant and serious problem. The impacts on the environment required to paid much attention.
