GOLF COURSE CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURE

Golf course construction can be divided into 2 distinct categories: New
construction and renovation. New construction involves constructing an 18-hole
championship course on approximately 150 acres of land. Renovation can
involve just one or a couple of greens or it can be as extensive as reshaping an
entire hole from Tee to green. The actual design of the golf course begins in the
designer's imagination and must be communicated to the builder.
Once the overall layout of the golf course is determined, the staking of the holes
can begin. Staking a new golf course is essential. The potential site is walked prior
to drafting the plans in order to get a sense of the lay of the land. When we stake
the golf holes, we can see how they will be positioned on the existing ground.
Personally, I prefer Donald Ross's method. He would always find the naturally
suitable green sites and then work back to the tees. The staking process offers the
last opportunity to locate specimen trees and to correct any design conflicts not
evident on the contour map. A yardage measurement and clearing limits are set for
each hole. The first clearing limit will be narrow, about 50 yards. By opening up
the hole slightly at this narrow clearing limit, we will be able to provide better
visibility.

We have taken an undeveloped piece of land and found the golf holes hidden there.
Land clearing is a very important process. There should not be any brush, stumps,
or debris buried anywhere on the course. There have been many instances where
buried brush has caused problems years after it was buried on existing courses. In
some cases, burial areas were placed under green fields, cart paths, and fairways.
Subsurface water has become trapped in these areas, causing them to sink. Our
recommendation is to have the timber and wood logged on-site with an on-site
supervisor in most cases where the timber and wood are suitable. The remaining
debris is either burned or ground and chipped into mulch.
During the land clearing process, erosion control systems are installed. Offsite
erosion is prevented with these systems. Until the course is properly grown ;
Usually two years after play has begun, it will be continuously monitored and
redesigned.

The majority of the material is moved during rough grading. Materials may include
sand, coral, clay or rock. It is critical to preserve natural contours and create new
contours that appear natural during the rough grading stage of the project.

Know How A Golf Course Made : Detailed Procedure

  The lands features are incorporated into the design process. During grading, for example, large boulders and rocks may be found. If they are removed, they are then used to build retaining walls around greens, tees, and lakes. Having a contractor who has experience in golf course construction, or someone on site to supervise the contractor, is extremely important. Many contractors are experienced in roadbuilding, which involves symmetrical and uniform slopes and finished elevations on stakes. On a golf course, the slopes are shaped more to resemble a natural-occurring contour. The final grades are determined in the field and few survey stakes are installed. Golf course finish shaping requires a high level of specialized knowledge. At this point, all final grades and shapes will be constructed. During this process, the tees,fairways, traps and greens will be shaped. The final shaping is very simple if the rough grading has been done precisely. Therefore, we require roug

Benefits of Sustainable Golf Development!

  The game of golf is a sport and business that is rich in tradition and value. Golf facilities and their leaders should continue to hold high standards of performance as pillars within their communities. The sustainability agenda represents a huge opportunity for successful long-term golf facility management and should be embraced for the way it can drive business performance,   golf course   profile and profit. A sustainability philosophy will position facilities and industry proactively and will help address environmental issues and regulatory pressures. Generally recognized sustainability values and benefits include: • Realized direct cost savings . • Pollution prevention. • Water quality protection. • Water conservation techniques. • Wildlife and habitat enhancement . • Education and outreach. • Increased customer loyalty and attraction. • Reduced risk and increase positive returns. • Utilize risk management assessment and practices. • Optimize irrigated turfgrass areas. • Incorpo
