RSSGCD Case Study
The Taormina Golf Course was planned in a very sensitive area by the river Alcantara, on a site that degraded over the years due to the presence of a landfill area that covered a large part of the property. The design work aimed to integrate the landfill with the agricultural landscape that dominates the surrounding area, consisting of mainly citrus fruit plantations.
RSSGCD Case Study
The Heythrop Park project in Oxfordshire involved the creation of a full length eighteen-hole layout to replace a small nine-hole course as the catalyst for the restoration of a nationally important parkland which was in terminal decline.
RSSGCD Case Study
I chose a new 18-hole links golf course I designed for the Marine Golf Club on the island of Sylt, in Germany, since it covered a number of interesting facets of a sustainable golf course development.
RSSGCD Case Study
