How To Design Your Own Golf Course

For many golfers, a step onto the green at the crack of dawn can be one of the most exciting parts of your week

. The whole course lies ahead of you. The sun is rising and birds are quietly flying over the treetops of the many trees that are scattered around the lawns. But, how often do you think about the brains and the creativity that went into the construction and inception of this course. Designing a golf course is a lot more difficult than you might think. One must present a challenge to its patrons, keep a certain level of aesthetic and also adhere to the many rules and regulations that go into course design. Below are some of the basic steps that golf course designers must follow when dreaming up the plans for a new green.

Every course will begin with a vision. To make sure your golf course plan is one that is sound, you will want to bring in the help of a licensed professional who will be able to take your vision and produce something that follows code as well as adhering to the rules of the game. The American Society of Golf Architects holds a contact page with the names and information of many individuals who can assist you with this.

The next logical step is all about the land. Do you have a place in mind? If so run your options by the group of people you have enlisted to help you out with this endeavor. What are the pros and cons of a course on this location? Having your golf architect assist you with this stage of planning can be a great resource as they will often have insights and knowledge to certain things where you may not.

Next you will need to think about the financial sides of the project. Do you plan on being financed through a bank? Do you have a group of private investors? A big chunk of change will be needed for the construction of the site, the pay for those who will work on it as well as for all of those who were consulted for the project.

Next comes the most important part, its construction. Get together your team of people and make sure everyone is on the same page. Lay out all of the construction documents and make sure everything is just as you need it to be before all of the building begins. Do your homework with the builders; make sure your final decision is with one that has the reviews and recommendations that you require for your vision to be carried out.

You may think that after the last piece of sod is laid that it will all be downhill from here. While a lot of the manual labor is indeed over you will need to prepare for the years that lay ahead. Choosing the right course maintenance crew can be a step in the right direction. Also, will you be the owner and operator? Or will you pass the reigns to someone else?

Make sure you have all the research done beforehand, that way in each step in the process you can rest assured that everything is going just as it should be.
