Golf Course Design

Fairways can be made flat, they can slope from left to right or right to left or they can slope uphill or downhill (Daley). The fairway should be designed according to how difficult the hole is. If the hole is fairly short with no hazards then the fairway should have some slope to it to make the second shot a little harder. If the hole ha a lot of hazards around the fairway or green then the fairway should be fairly flat so the golfer has a better chance of getting the ball past the hazards (Daley).
             A large part of designing a golf course is putting in hazards. There are several different types of hazards that can be designed into a golf course such as sand bunkers, water, plants, and mounds (Nicklaus). Hazards can be put around the greens and fairways. Sand bunkers come in many different styles and sizes. There are deep pot bunkers, long flat bunkers and cape bunkers. Some bunkers also have different types of grass and plants surrounding them, some also have patches of grass in the middle (Golf Course Architecture). Pot bunkers are very deep and very tough to get out of, long flat bunkers sometimes run along the side of the fairway but are much easier for the golfer to get out of and cape bunkers are normal size that are place near the green. There are also bunkers called penal bunkers which means that the bunker is a punishment for attempting a risky shot (Design Philosophies). Also when designing a course you can put in what are called aesthetic bunkers which are used to beautify the golf course and do not really come into play (Nicklaus). Another hazard that can be designed into a golf course is water. Water is nice to have on a golf course but if it becomes a factor on every hole that can present a problem for golfers. Golfers enjoy challenging courses but not to challenging, they do not want to lose a ball on every hole. The average number of holes that contain water is between five and seven on most golf courses.
