51 SUSTAINABILITY Architects: Bruce Charlton and Mike Gorman, Robert Trent Jones II Location: Hoiana Shores Golf Club, Quang Nam Province, Vietnam The pair restored over 23 hectares of degraded land into native coastal scrub landscape and planted over 1,500 new native and locally sourced trees. Architect: Scott Macpherson Location: Golf It! Glasgow, Scotland The bulk materials used in construction were 100 per cent locally sourced, the water vole (a protected species in Scotland) were successfully safeguarded, and the facility’s energy supply is a 100 per cent renewable source. Architect: Martin Ebert Location: New Craigend Golf Course, Royal Troon, Scotland Fifteen holes were created that are accessible to people of all ages and abilities. The course has been a great addition for the community and can be played with just a putter. Photo: Gary Lisbon Photo: Golf It! Photo: New Craigend Golf Course
