Offered by Wiley Publishers, Golf Course Design covers all of the major historic, aesthetic, business and technical issues of the subject-from course layout, hole design, drainage, irrigation and turfgrass selection to planning, financing, construction and environmental considerations. With the help of colleagues in course design and related fields, as well as specialists from the Golf Course Builders Association of America, the authors combine crucial information and surefooted guidance in an easy-to-follow format. The text features hundreds of stunning photographs and illustrations, plus design exercises, design code details, a glossary of design terms and an annotated bibliography.

The authors recommend Landscape Architects as "the professional that may serve as the best project coordinator for the golf course design team, as he is responsible for providing detailed layouts for all site components, including grading and drainage, planting, lighting, roads, walkways, and stormwater runoff."

Capturing the same liveliness and enthusiasm that have helped to keep Graves and Cornish among the most active in their profession, this book will inspire and encourage others in their own quest for excellence in the creation of playing fields for the game of golf. Landscape Architects interested in discovering the intricacies of golf course design-or even in specializing in this distinctive field-will benefit from Golf Course Design.
