Your KMZ is fine (works in Check Sites).  The KML you posted - was this supposed to be the course KML?  It is the embedded KML for the map KMZ.  Sorry if I'm covering stuff you know but:


The map KMZ is a compressed set of files and folders (using a good archiving tool like 7-Zip you can open and see the contents).  It contains a KML file that "describes" the boundaries of each tile (jpg map tile).  It also incudes a "files" folder that contains all the jpg map tiles.  So the KMZ is the map.

The required KML file is a list of control locations and is just a text file with the KML extension for Google Earth.  As I noted, the one attached is the same file as the one embedded in the KMZ so not a control location file.

You can set up a Check Site without a course (KML file) and just the map (KMZ).

Let me know if this makes sense.
