Design Philosophy
-
Our philosophy follows an emerging trend back to the origins of golf design when the Architect stayed on-site, working hands-on throughout all phases of design, construction and establishment instead of just handing over static drawings to a contractor for construction. This approach ensures we bring the very best out of the land, capturing the subtle nuances that make the difference between good and extraordinary.
Whether we are involved with the design and construction of a new golf course or minor alterations to an existing hole, there are many elements we consider during the design process. We endeavour to:
-
Enhance the emotional experience by maximum use of the landscape and setting. We accomplish this by focusing the golfer on dramatic views and integrating natural features and surroundings within the design.
Present a challenge and provoke thought through strategic placement of hazards and features within exciting and imaginative course layouts.
Provide a visually pleasing experience through intelligent use of landform, landscape and vegetation to create harmony between the golf course and its surroundings.
Create functionality by the proper use of construction methods and materials to ensure efficient course establishment and maintenance through the life of the golf course.
Deliver a cost effective product through forward planning, application of our extensive experience, effective selection and control of contractors and attention to detail.
