Issue 28, April 2012

Golf Course Architecture’s spring 2012 issue includes a fascinating mix of content from around the world of golf design and development. Our cover story looks at how architects produce interesting courses on difficult sites; with land now at a premium in so many countries, turning mountainsides, deserts or dumps into beautiful venues for golf is a key challenge for designers. Plus, we visit Sunningdale in England to search for some old Harry Colt holes lost for eighty years in a pine forest, learn why flat and easy courses are no longer enough to make golf resorts successful, and find out how golf in China might develop away from the par 72, 7,300 yard ‘championship’ stereotype.
