Every round of golf is impacted by three key design elements, regardless of geographic
location, topography, motif, dimensions, or type of golf course. Those elements
are Strategy, Aesthetics, and Conditioning. Simply stated, strategic quality is
what one feels as he/she plays the course. It has to do with the overall course
routing, how holes turn left, right, or straight, directions of holes as related
to wind and sun, how slope impacts one’s stance, how hazards are situated, varying
lengths of holes, uphill
verses downhill, upwind verses downwind, angles from tee
to landing areas, how greens are designed for size, shape, angle of centerline, and
a host of other issues that greatly impact the player’s experience. All of these
conditions impact the player’s level of enjoyment.
With a few obvious differences, such as the acquisition of raw land when building a new course, and working with an existing membership when renovating an established course, the process of creating an aesthetically pleasing, economically sound and solid course is essentially the same.
