Issue 27, January 2012

GCA’s new edition is among the magazine’s most broadly-based in its seven year history. Our On Site column visits the Dorado Beach course in Puerto Rico, plus the astonishing Castiglion del Bosco project in Tuscany as well as courses in the UK and the Netherlands. Our Pioneer column explains why Harry Colt ought to be considered golf’s greatest designer, and in the Lost Hole slot architect Robin Hiseman goes in search of Alister MacKenzie’s famous abandoned green at Sitwell Park. And, in our cover story, we explain how thoughtful design work is central to keeping maintenance costs in check.
