Golf design rulebook

Our design philosophy has evolved from our long experience as good players. We’ve crystallised it into our very own design rulebook. Here are some of our most important rules:

1.

Planning in harmony with the natural landscape!

2.

Each hole is different!

3.

Hard par, easy bogey!

4.

Precision and strategy count more than pure length of shot!

5.

Most obstructions within the reach of long hitters!

6.

Clear "strategic design", occasional "heroic design" and no "penal design"!

7.

Avoid blind shots!
