St. Andrew"s golf course is widely considered to be the first truly designed golf course. Each hole was designed to offer numerous ways of approaching each green so that players of varying degrees of expertise could exploit their own individual strengths. Today"s golf course architects still look to courses like St.

Golf course construction continues to burgeon in the United States, Asia, and around the world. This book meets the needs of practicing landscape architects and other practicing professionals involved in the design or re-design of golf courses. Each classic hole is described in terms relevant to the designer including its basic design, its maintenance, and its impact on the golfer's game. Three samples accompany each classic hole illustrating varying replications and how those replications were appropriated for the new course.
