Annotation from
Golf Course Design,
by Geoffrey S. Cornish and Michael J. Hurdzan: | "Authored by a youthful golf architect, belonging to a generation of immensely talented newcomers to the profession, this book should be read by all involved in master planning. With diagrams by Gil Hanse, another of the new generation who provided peer review for this bibliography, this is one of the first books to explain course design and strategy in lay terms, with insights, opinions and detailed explanations of how course features are planned, develop and influence play. An important addition to any collection of the genre." p. 64 |

| Quotable quotes | "Many clients who say they aspire to the "unmaintained" look of Pine Valley have no idea just how much maintenance must be performed in such areas to prevent erosion of the sand and keep the shrubbery from becoming overgrown." p. 177
"From an architect's perspective, even if the owner is not concerned with costs, a course in perfect condition is an extravagance going against the nature of the game." p. 206 |
