Golf Course Architecture Magazine October 2018 Zurück Ausgabe

The cover of the October 2018 issue of Golf Course Architecture features the new course developed by earthmoving equipment manufacturer JCB, located next to its headquarters in Staffordshire, England. Adam Lawrence reports on a recent visit to the layout, designed by Robin Hiseman of European Golf Design.

Our Tee Box section opens with a report on the new TPC Colorado course designed by Art Schaupeter, the first new course to be built in the state for ten years. We also hear from Andrew Green about his restoration work at the Donald Ross design at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, and report on a five-year project by Ken Moodie and MJ Abbott that is approaching completion at Royal Blackheath Golf Club in London, England.

Our feature topic for this issue explores blind holes in golf. We ask architects about what it is that can make blind holes great and share insight from David Kidd, Martin Ebert, Harley Kruse, Rick Phelps and many more.

We speak with Rees Jones about the course at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club in South Carolina, widely regarded as the best layout in Myrtle Beach.

We also report on site visits to Clive Clark’s Dumbarnie Links near St Andrews, Scotland and Baylands Golf Links, a municipal course in Palo Alto, California, that has been redesigned by Forrest Richardson.

Our Holing Out section focuses on the Bobby Jones Golf Course in Atlanta, which is ready to reopen following a year-long renovation. This progressive layout was Bob Cupp’s final work before passing away.
