I just attended the Northern Trust Open at Riviera Country Club in LAX. What an amazing track and golf course that is! Is anyone else involved in the golf scene?

Golf course architecture is a really true test of large and small scale visionary deisgn and extremely rigorous construction and engineering techniques. ….. And, it is really fun.

Ryan, to answer your question from November, I am an avid golfer with a single digit handicap. I was drawn to golf design because I had a love for the game, then developed a love for the golf design industry and golf architecture. Something romantic about the whole industry to me.
I think you have to be a good stick in order to be respected in…[Read more]

Fix, repair or replace all those hardscape areas used for erosion control such as in the photo above. Try a vegetatable solution that is a permanent repair to many erosion issues. With the value of 1sq ft of golf course being as high as it is it is shame for erosion to eat it up. Deltalok USA Ecology Units will provide a permanent vegetatable solution.

I’m curious to know how many people that have joined this group are avid golfers? Is it the game that draws you in, the passion for course design or both?

Wow! It’s awesome to see such a great diversity of people from around the world expressing common interest in Golf Course Architecture, a very unique area of design in the realm of Landscape Archtecture! If anyone has any thoughts or a creative approach to golf course design please share your thoughts!

No problem, Radu! Glad to help.
As for the conceptual design, it should be a general routing plan with generic bunkering and golf course character. You would want to establish number of tees, size of tees and greens, etc. so that you could generate an estimate. Other things, like drainage, earthwork, etc. would have to come from past experience…[Read more]

Ryan and Chad thnx a lot great tips, its very usefull for me to learn from someone who has experiance. In Romania the golf buissnes is at the start there is not yet a high quality golf course in Romania nad playing golf its very hard here, there are no profesionals in my country on golf course design and construction, so there is space for this…[Read more]

Radu, Ryan’s comments are on point. Of course, not everyone can do a conceptual design for the project before being awarded the project. We never did this when I was in the golf business. We always got paid for conceptual design, which is where we started with our fee, then if we determined the project was feasible, we rolled into CD’s and project…[Read more]

Hi Matei–
All golf course design projects are unique from one to another and each has their own variables and client needs / desires. So there is no formula or guide that I’m aware of that you can work through and come up with a design fee proposal.My experience has been that the design team will typically receive 5-7% of the construction costs…[Read more]

Ryan, while I agree with your assessment of renovation projects being the niche to look at these days, it takes the right client to take a “chance” on these renovations these days. With golf rounds down nationally 25-40%, it is somewhat of a leap of faith for owners to renovate their course to try to spark increased rounds. Yes, there are several…[Read more]

Hi Chad! Thanks for joining the group and posting a comment. You’re correct that new course building has slowed; however, I think this slow has fostered an opportunity to be creative and find ways to keep course design moving. Rather than new course construction, I have seen a high increase in existing course renovation. As existing courses…[Read more]
