Golf Course Architecture Magazine January 2016 Edição anterior

As golf was first spreading around the world, those who sought to create golf courses generally looked for sites that were naturally suited to golf. But in the last twenty years, developers have increasingly considered locations that are very remote or challenging to work with. For the main feature article in our January 2016 edition, we ask golf architects how they dealt with some of the most difficult sites they have encountered during their careers.

Also in this issue, our cover features the Old course at Ballybunion in Ireland, where a major project to replace the greens has been taking place over the winter. We also report on visits to Andermatt in Switzerland, Jura in Scotland, and the short Orli Las course in Poland. We hear from golf architects Lester George and Jeff Howes, and bring you all the biggest news from the golf design industry, including work at future Ryder Cup venue Le Golf National.
