American Society of Golf Course Architects | News | ASGCA Brochure Explains Role of Golf Course Architect

The American Society of Golf Course Architects has revised and released a brochure titled, “Selecting Your Golf Course Architect: Questions & Answers.” This four-page piece provides owners, developers and managers with details on the complex role a golf course architect plays in the planning, designing and building of a course.

Tom Marzolf, ASGCA President, describes the importance of choosing a qualified, experienced golf course architect: “Only through a thorough knowledge of the game can the architect develop a true understanding of strategy, shot value, limitations of players and equipment and realistic design possibilities,” he notes. “An experienced golf course architect has a unique skill set that will smooth the process of both new golf course development and remodeling.”
