For a golf course to take, or preserve, its place as a special place in the game of golf, design and construction has to be more than just the movement of earth, installing an infrastructure, and applying the landscape materials of choice. Those responsible for developing the design and overseeing the work must have a deep passion for the game - knowing its feel and spirit, and a respect for the history and traditions of golf - leading to the understanding of the need to let our modern work continue with tried and true principles that have endured for centuries.
