17. GOLF COURSE
•A specialty of landscape design, golf
course architecture is its own field of
study.
•A successful design is as visually pleasing
as it is playable.
•With golf being an outdoor form of
recreation, the strong designer is an
adept student of natural landscaping,
understanding the aesthetic cohesion of
vegetation, water bodies, paths, grasses,
stonework and woodwork, among other
things.
•While golf courses often follow the
original landscape, some modification is
unavoidable. This is increasingly the case
as new courses are more likely to be sited
on less optimal land.

Since the construction methods, materials, and costs differ considerably for large ponds
versus small water gardens hence proving to be a very important tool in landscaping.
