“ My best-received courses have come with about 95 per cent freedom” The Winter 2018 issue of the American Society of Golf Course Architects’ By Design magazine, produced by the team responsible for GCA, sees ASGCA members share insight on the extent to which they are given ‘free rein’ with projects, and typical constraints they face. “All projects come with constraints; the topography of the land, limited budget or the owner’s wants and needs,” said John Fought, who cited the South course at The Gallery in Arizona (pictured) as an example where he was given a lot of creative freedom, having been told ‘do what you think is best’ by the client. “My best-received courses have come with about 95 per cent freedom,” said Jeff Brauer, “from owner, if not from regulatory bodies.” The latest issue of By Design also reports on the projects selected for the ASGCA’s 2018 Design Excellence Recognition Program, includes insights from ASGCA members who are involved in formal education, and a report from a recent event on forward tees and other high-return ideas for golf facilities.
