News & Notes
MATTHEW DUSENBERRY NAMED ONE OF TOP
UP-AND-COMING GOLF COURSE DESIGNERS
Matthew Dusenberry, principal of Dusenberry Golf Course Design, was named one of the top
up and coming golf course architects by Golf Channel’s, Matt Ginella on the Morning Drive.
He shares such honors with a distinguished group of architects including Tiger Woods.
“We’ve been fortunate to work with quality clients that share our vision of building and
renovating golf courses to provide players with an exceptional golf experience. It’s been our
philosophy from the beginning that we will only take on a few projects at a time and give our
projects and our clients the service and attention to detail that result in really creative and fun golf
courses that players will want to come back and play again and again” said Matt Dusenberry.
“It’s been a little more than three years since I started my own firm and we’ve started to build
a nice portfolio of work. We have two new course design projects supplemented by six
renovation projects in various stages. Although it’s a slower period in golf course development
we’re really excited about the future and our position in the profession. We’re in this for the long
term and will continue to build a portfolio of work that is representative of our vision. Matt’s list
of designers are doing some really quality work and we are proud to be part of that group.”
DUSENBERRY DESIGN RENOVATION OF KENEY PARK GOLF
COURSE NAMED “2016 RENOVATION OF THE YEAR”
BY GOLF INC. MAGAZINE
Dusenberry Golf Course Design renovation of Keney Park Golf Course in Hartford, Connecticut
was named the 2016 Renovation of the Year by Golf Inc. Magazine in the public course category.
The competition considers submissions from around the world and judging was based on how well
the renovations improved the course according to four criteria; routing, playability, maintainability,
and aesthetics.
“We’re very pleased to have the course recognized by Golf Inc. Magazine as an outstanding
public course renovation in 2016. It’s always satisfying to have several years of hard work and
tireless attention to detail recognized by a leading industry publication” said Matt Dusenberry.
“It has been a labor of love for myself and my design partners Tad Burnett and Jim McKenna.
We were all introducted to the game through municipal golf and it feels good to make great
architecture accessible. We were also very fortunate to have Bradley Klein and Scott Ramsay as
part of our consultant team to provide invaluable advice on classic architecture and agronomy in
New England.”

Education
Bachelor of Science in

in 1996 from the University of
Wisconsin - Madison.
The Landscape Architecture
curriculum gave valuable
knowledge of civil engineering,
soil science, horticulture, turfgrass
science, landscape design/
standards, and aesthetics.
“A passion for junior and amateur tournament golf
led to my curiosity and desire to learn how great
courses around the world were designed, constructed
and maintained. After completing an education in
Landscape Architecture with significant work experience
in golf course construction, I embarked on a golf course
design career of over 18 years. I’ve had the privilege
of visiting and working on many of the best golf courses
around the world and it’s these experiences that have
shaped my philosophy that great golf courses are not
just planned and put on paper, rather they are built with
hands-on field supervision.”

Global Presence
With over 60 years of combined experience working on over 50 projects on five
continents, Dusenberry Design is well equipped to meet the needs of clients regardless of
site conditions, golfing culture, language, or budget.
Dusenberry Design approaches projects differently in Southeast Asia, South America,
North America, or the Middle East. We recognize that a unique approach is required to
focus on the strengths and resources available in the region. These resources are utilized
to deliver the highest quality project within our client’s budget.
Dusenberry Design takes seriously the responsibility to promote and spread the growth
of the game of golf around the world through design and construction of unique,
memorable, and sustainable golf courses.
“I’ve had the privilege of designing golf courses all over the world. From the seaside sand
dunes of the British Isles and Vietnam to the sand belt of Australia. From the mountains
of the Western United States and Argentine Patagonia to the marshes of South Florida.
Each site is unique and our design concept is adapted to fit the landforms, climate, and
native vegetation. The site dictates not only the location of the golf holes but the style
and appearance. This results in a unique course that is grounded in tradition, a regional
aesthetic, and sustainable operations and maintenance.”

APPROACH
“Great golf courses are not just planned and
put on paper...they are built in the field.”

What Makes Dusenberry Design Different?
Project Selection
We only take on a limited number of high quality projects.
This allows us to focus on delivering exceptional design
services and creativity for each client. Our project
selection criteria positively affects the long term success of
our client’s golf courses and of our design company.
Project Delivery
We dedicate extended time from design partners on-site during
construction along with hand select experienced construction staff to
execute the work and shape the golf course. Design partners often
execute shaping of features and detailed finish work on-site.
Our 60 plus years of combined design experience has indicated the
only successful way to get creative and sophisticated design ideas
from paper to field is hands-on involvement during each stage of the
construction process.
“Dusenberry Design only participates in
a select number of high quality projects.”
Team Approach and Collaboration
First, we place an emphasis on having all team members involved
in each project in a significant manner. Site visits are supplemented
by utilizing visualization and information sharing technologies to
get documented and physical input from design partners and client.
Second, we believe strongly that collaboration and exchange of ideas
from planning through construction stages results in a more creative,
unique, and varied finished product.

PHILOSOPHY
Inspired by Classic Architecture
We recognize every site is different with a unique design concept
developed for each project. We draw inspiration from classic
golf course architecture and some of our favorite designs in similar
environments and settings around the world.

approach
“Great golf courses are built in the field.”
Adopting a Guiding Design Philosophy
Our design partnership adopts a philosophy of strategic design and a
few basic tenants are outlined below;
1. PROVIDE WIDTH AND GIVE PLAYERS ROOM TO PLAY
2. EMPHASIZE VARIETY AND CHARACTER OVER LENGTH
3. REDUCE AND LIMIT USE OF LONG ROUGH GRASS AS
HAZARD
4. WELL-DESIGNED HOLES & FEATURES INDICATE STRATEGY
THAT IS NOT ALWAYS OBVIOUS, RATHER, IT IS REVEALED
THROUGH REPEAT PLAY.
Consider the Entire Golf Experience
The golf experience is simply the interaction that the golfer has with
the development and the golf course from arrival to exit. We provide
services beyond the standard golf course design deliverables. This
significantly separates Dusenberry Design from others in the industry.
This is critical to achieving our goal of a unique and exceptional golf
experience. Greater detail is provided in the SERVICES section.

Environmental Sustainability
The golf course field of play is part of a larger ecosystem
with opportunities to protect, conserve, and regenerate
desirable and valuable habitat. Dusenberry Design
combines best practices in planning, design and
construction to ensure a sustainable environment for
the long term operations and maintenance of the golf
course.
• PROTECT valuable habitat and resources
• CONSERVE natural resources
• REGENERATE valued habitat
• PRESERVE greenspace and provide an
environmental amenity
Each site offers unique opportunities and challenges
for golf construction within the natural environment.
Dusenberry Design promotes the development of golf
courses that can be held as examples of environmental
stewardship. These environmental goals are achieved
while still delivering the highest quality design and
playing experience. Exceptional environmental quality
serves only to enhance and improve the quality of the
golf experience.
• Ecology of the site aligned with the design concept,
routing plan, strategy plan and construction
documentation
• Participation with multi-disciplinary team of experts
during site evaluation, design development, and
master planning
• On-site supervision by Dusenberry Design to
observe and guide execution of the environmental
action plan during construction.
Construction Budget
As an advocate for the owner, Dusenberry Design
participates in the establishment of preliminary budgets
for construction. This cost estimate is based on the
design concept, site conditions, and site location.
We often collaborate with industry professionals
and contractors to assist in development of accurate
construction cost forecasts.
Dusenberry Design also serves to assist in the bid
tender, evaluation of contractors, and their pricing
proposals. Qualifying contractors and an accurate
“apples to apples” pricing evaluation is vital for the
client to make informed decisions.
Dusenberry Design participates in value engineering
to help reduce costs without sacrificing quality. This
is often done to take advantage of regional material
suppliers and make compromises that will result in a
more feasible construction budget.
Quality control and control of costs are managed
efficiently with the Dusenberry Design hands-on
approach to planning and construction. Controlling
construction costs is one of the most important tools
for long term sustainability of the golf course and
development.

Project Feasibility
Dusenberry Design has been involved in the planning and design of
over 30 golf course projects around the world. Our expertise is in
the planning, design, and construction of courses in various markets,
sites, and operations models. Our clients are able to utilize our expert

stages.
Dusenberry Design partners with exceptional industry professionals to
provide expert advice, data, and planning tools. We assist clients with
the initial assessment of the financial and master planning feasibility
of new golf courses or renovation projects. Whether assessing a golf
course as an amenity for a master planned community or resort, or
analyzing the financial cost/benefit of a golf course renovation,
Dusenberry Design is uniquely positioned to assemble the project team
to meet all of your project needs.
Feasibility studies typically include analysis of the market, financial
forecasting, and study of the property for suitability of a new golf course
or renovation. Dusenberry Design collaborates with the client to outline
the project parameters and we can assist with developing a scope of
work and suitable fee structure.
• Market analysis
• Financial forecast and modeling
• Site Selection
• Inventory and analysis of new site or operating golf course
• Preliminary golf course routing
• Conceptual master plan
Master Planning
Dusenberry Design has participated in the master planning
of projects in residential communities, resorts, and core golf
projects. We use this master planning experience to assist
the client in delivering a balance between a high quality golf
experience and a high quality and profitable development.
This result is achieved through execution of the master
planning process. Typically, the routing of the golf course
is executed in conjunction with the master planning of the
entire development parcel. In keeping with our approach
to projects, Dusenberry Design participates in site visits and
design charrettes during master plan development to make
sure site conditions are adequately considered and valued.

Our “team approach” refers to our internal method of design development and to our
external approach in dealing with our client and other consultants on the project. Internally,
we encourage an atmosphere of collaboration to promote the most unique, creative, and
memorable design concepts for the golf course. This is achieved through open communication
and internal design charrettes. This spirit of cooperation and collaboration translates very well
into our roles as a member of the design team for your new golf course project.
Strategy Plans
Strategy Plan
Hole 2 is the first drive and pitch hole on the course and fits
in well to the approach of starting a little softer and easing
players into the round.
Hole 2
Par 4
Description
• Additional champ tee added behind 1 green. It needs to be elevated to
see over the grouping of native vegetation and to see the hazards and
fairway.
• The fairway is cleared of all trees and the bunker removed on the outside
of the dogleg. The emphasis is now on the main hazard (water) left of the
entire hole. The water hazard and design of the approach and green
surround put emphasis on placement of the drive creating the best angle
into the green.
• This effectively widens the fairway / landing area significantly for more
options off the tee.
• The existing hole plays more like a 90 degree dogleg, which is not desirable. Only players hitting drives long enough could realize an open approach shot to the green. The proposed design modifies the angle of the
green significantly and opens the fairway to many options off the tee and
improving the playability tremendously. Shorter drives now have a chance
at hitting this green.
• Green is slightly elevated and smaller in size. This is for variety, contrast, and
in keeping with the type of approach shot being played. Smaller green
rewards players hitting driver off the tee and have shorter iron approaches.
Smaller green is more difficult to hit for players playing conservatively on
the tee shot and are left with mid irons or longer.
• A and B represent the best placement of tee shots for better angle into the
green. They take on the greatest amount of risk near the water and are
rewarded with shorter irons to this small compact green surface.
• The angle of the green and the bunker short right create most of the
strategy for players. The farther left you are in the fairway, the better angle
the approach shot with less interference from the large bunker.
• C and D represent the more conservative play from the tee and result in
very different approach shots. C has a better angle but a much longer
approach shot. D has a shorter club to the green but a more difficult
angle
• This hole does a great job of illustrating the use of diagonal features and
how they create many lines of play and options for all ability levels.
• A portion of the approach is open allows for run-up shots. At least 1/2 the
green is available for run-up shots regardless of the fairway angle. The
back right portion of the green is most difficult and well guarded by bunker
and slope.
• The open approach on the left is also intentional to allow flexibility in the
set up of the hole for competition. If the tees are placed on the forward
two tees there is an open and direct line to the putting surface over the
lake. This becomes a driveable par 4 with realistic possibilities of hitting the
green. Existing design does not allow for this set up. This is a fun option to
occasionally modify the set up of the course for members.
• Edges of the lake will have large littoral shelf plantings removed to improve
visibility.
• Thinning of vegetation right of the approach and behind the green will
improve playability of the course.
• Varied ground contours in the approach and left of the green add to the
interest of the short game and approach shots.

Hole 13
Par 4
Description
• The challenge on this hole is that is a very acute dogleg right and hazard
on the inside of the dogleg does not present a fair challenge for play up
the right side. As it sits now the bunker penalizes the average players by
forcing play left while the longer hitter can easily carry the hazard.
• The elevated inside fairway bunker is removed. A new bunker is proposed
slightly right and at a lower elevation to tie nicely into the native landscape
and reshaped in to a long narrow bunker to form more of a linear cape
hazard. This creates a more open landing area while still challenging drives
of all skill levels aimed for the preferred right side “A”. From this preferred
section of the landing area the approach shot is both shorter and on a
better line to attack the green.
• A number of trees need to be cleared on the inside of the dogleg to allow
for better sight lines and more reasonable recovery shots from the inside
fairway hazard. This is also necessary so that players hitting shorter drives
have a sight line and opportunity to play the hole as the longer hitters.
• The clearing and the bunker realignment aim to take the “90 degree”
dogleg and soften it to make the hole more playable.
• Native plant material is also heavily thinned out to open up the sandy
ground plane for the entire right side of the hole.
• Left side of the fairway is left intact but heavy thinning out of native plant
material is necessary along the entire landing zone ”B” to create an open
and playable transitional zone.
• Shots played safely to the left side of the landing area will have a longer
shot and a less desirable approach shot. Play from here will also have to
navigate over two new approach bunkers.
• A new senior tee is proposed in open dead space between existing back
tee complex and creek.
• The green is orientated and sloped to favor approach shots from the
right side of the landing area, further placing a premium on tees shot
placement. The entire approach slopes from left to right requiring careful
judgment when playing a run up shot.

Routing Plan
Description
• As outlined above the left to right and slightly elevated green is very important to the strategy of the hole. It creates better angles for shorter
drives and any drive down the left risking the water.
• The green is protected right by the large bunker that protects second
shots near the short right pin but it is also placed as a punishment for errant tee shots when it plays as a driveable par 4. The 20-30 yard bunker
shot from the far right portion of the bunker is a very difficult shot and
thus a good punishment on such a risk/reward setup.
• The pot bunker back left is also intended to punish players on the
driveable par 4 set up but also has an interesting placement to grab
errant and conservatively played second shots. This bunker becomes
more in play for better players challenging a left or back pin, but it
also becomes more in play for golfers who lay up off the tee and have
longer second shots with less control. They are more apt to run through
and back to this area. Finally, the pot bunker is in play for the better
player hitting driver and hits through the fairway into the rough (past
“D” above). The poor angle and flyer lie from the rough can result in
approach shots running through and back into the area of the pot
bunker.
• The surface of the small green is defined by a more difficult back right
pin “B” with more open pins forward and left “A & C”. A stronger
support roll back left gives players a slope to use to gain access to the
back right pin areas. Creative use of the green contour allows players
another option to access the “B” pin.

Green Concept

A
Description
• This mid-sized green is rectangular and stretches longer in direction of
an approach shot from right side of fairway.
• Players hitting in from the left rough hit somewhat across the green and
bring the bunkers on the right side more into play.
• The green surface follows the natural surrounding slope from high left
to low right dividing into three fairly distinct and strategic sections at
different elevations.
• Section “A” is at a mid-elevation and the most accessible. When
approached from the right side of the fairway the elevated back left
portion of the green acts as a back-stop to hold shots.
• Section ”B” is the lowest elevation tying nicely into natural grade. These
pins are slightly more challenging to access and require either a very
accurate aerial attack or a well thought out run up shot that utilizes the
left to right transitional slope to feed ball to the pin. Distance control is
most important when attacking these pins as shot long will likely catch
a shaved slope and end up in one of a series of bunkers at the edge of
the native area.
• Section “C” is the most difficult sitting up on a small elevated pedestal.
Pin seekers will have to be very precise with their shot to these pins.
Shots short and right will catch a transition slope and feed back into
other section of the green. Shots long will end up in one of two deep
bunkers protecting back left section of the green. From here up and
down will be very challenging.

Renovation, Refinement, Restoration
Although each project is unique, Dusenberry Design applies a consistent
methodology and approach. An approach that provides the platform
and framework for successful renovation and restoration projects. When
planning and considering a golf course renovation it is vital to identify the
reasons for renovation. This exercise will assist in establishing the goals
for the project and ultimately the scope of work. The reasons for renovation
and goals are defined by the planning and development team. The team
is formed by the client/membership, the golf course architect, and other
professional consultants (irrigation, environmental, engineering, etc.)
All decisions made during the design process focus on improving the player’s
experience. This spans from turf conditions and strategy to aesthetics.
Dusenberry Design works with the client to establish a unique design concept
for each renovation project with emphasis on providing character and interest
to the golf course.

feature shapers, and other key personnel. Dusenberry Design
recommends a hybrid approach to the client for the execution and
construction of the golf course. The approach utilizes direct hire
construction experts and local sub-contractors and labor.
Resident Architect / Field Representative
Dedicated staff to the project during pre-construction
planning and during construction. Golf construction
specialist that is tasked with assisting in the execution of the
design and construction of the golf course. Also assist in
quality management, construction observation, and training
local contractors and labor. This specialist has experience
with Dusenberry Design golf course projects in similar
conditions. The resident architect is nominated and selected
by Dusenberry Design.
Dusenberry Design assigns a resident architect to the project that
acts as a project manager and field representative. The resident
architect advises on construction and design implementation and
observes quality control issues on-site. In addition, key construction
personnel are placed on each job site. In the golf construction
industry, they are commonly referred to as “shapers” or “feature
shapers”. They operate dozers and other equipment that shape
and transform the site into the finished golf course grades. The
resident architect and shapers also advise and train the local
contractors and labor during the construction of the golf course.
Each project is different, but our typical approach assigns a portion
of the construction work on the golf course to local contractors
and labor. Use of local labor and equipment suppliers reduce
costs. In addition, the golf construction will have a positive socioeconomic impact on the area by hiring and training local residents.
Dusenberry Design has found on previous projects that many of
the construction personnel on the golf course are particularly well
suited and trained to later work on the maintenance and operations
of the golf course. This is another step towards having a sustainable
project long term.
• Hands-on personal involvement during construction
• Resident Architect / Project Manager
• Feature Shapers
• Utilize local sub-contractors and labor
Feature Shapers
These specialized equipment operators form the golf course
and its features through the use of on-site equipment such
as dozers, track-hoes, and tractors. Shapers are needed
to meet the project schedule and help manage and train
the local contractors and labor. These specialists will have
specific experience on Dusenberry Design golf course
projects in similar conditions. Shapers are nominated and
selected by Dusenberry Design.

Comprehensive Design of
Golf Experience
Golf Experience
The golf experience is simply the interaction that the golfer has
with the development and the golf course from arrival to exit. We
recognize that this experience really starts off property but becomes
formalized at the entrance to the development.
To ensure the best golf experience, we provide design services
that are comprehensive. This significantly separates Dusenberry
Design from others in the industry. We provide services beyond
the standard golf course design deliverables. Going beyond these
standard services is critical to achieving our goal of a unique and
exceptional golf experience.
Dusenberry Design supervises and coordinates the conceptual
and detail design of program elements that have traditionally been
outside of the golf course architects scope. However, these tasks
and design considerations have significant impact on the golf
course experience.
Tasks include;
• Participate in land planning and its effect on the routing of the
golf course.
• Concept design of arrival experience to project and specifically
to the golf course.
• Detail design of all golf interaction with property development
components.
• Oversee concept and detail design of golf clubhouse and all
related development components (ie. golf cottages, parking,
service, roads, etc.)
We work with the client’s professional disciplines for execution
of these specialized tasks listed above. For example; architects,
engineers, and landscape architects. Dusenberry Design oversees
and reviews concept and detail design of these disciplines as they
relate to the golf course, on behalf of the client.
Post - Construction Services
Naming & Branding
We develop naming and branding options for the golf
course. This is a key element to providing a bespoke and
customized golf experience. A few examples of naming and
branding are illustrated below.
Design of Site Furniture and Golf Accessories
In an effort to provide continuity in design concept and
golf experience, we consider all of the site furniture and
golf accessories. The focus is on understated details that
are grounded in a regional aesthetic. The details further
reinforce a sense of place and memborable golf experience.
Design Brief for Maintenance
We provide a design brief that outlines the maintenance
practices and standards. It is essential that the turfgrass
playing surfaces are in keeping with the intended design of
the golf course and it’s features.
In addition, we provide a preliminary recommendation on
a maintenance equipment package needed to execute the
design maintenance brief. Finally, we provide a concept
design for the location and layout of the maintenance area.
Artwork Quality Master Plan
Dusenberry Design utilizes as-built mapping information of
the finished golf course to produce an illustrative master plan.
Working with the client, we develop a master plan that conveys
the character and details of the golf course experience. It is
of heirloom collector quality and can be utilized for marketing
and promotion of the golf course. An example is illustrated
above.

Phase 2 Work - Summer 2016
Strategy Plan
Hole 2 is the first drive and pitch hole on the course and fits
in well to the approach of starting a little softer and easing
players into the round.
Hole 2
Par 4
Description
• Additional champ tee added behind 1 green. It needs to be elevated to
see over the grouping of native vegetation and to see the hazards and
fairway.
• The fairway is cleared of all trees and the bunker removed on the outside
of the dogleg. The emphasis is now on the main hazard (water) left of the
entire hole. The water hazard and design of the approach and green
surround put emphasis on placement of the drive creating the best angle
into the green.
• This effectively widens the fairway / landing area significantly for more
options off the tee.
• The existing hole plays more like a 90 degree dogleg, which is not desirable. Only players hitting drives long enough could realize an open approach shot to the green. The proposed design modifies the angle of the
green significantly and opens the fairway to many options off the tee and
improving the playability tremendously. Shorter drives now have a chance
at hitting this green.
• Green is slightly elevated and smaller in size. This is for variety, contrast, and
in keeping with the type of approach shot being played. Smaller green
rewards players hitting driver off the tee and have shorter iron approaches.
Smaller green is more difficult to hit for players playing conservatively on
the tee shot and are left with mid irons or longer.
• A and B represent the best placement of tee shots for better angle into the
green. They take on the greatest amount of risk near the water and are
rewarded with shorter irons to this small compact green surface.
• The angle of the green and the bunker short right create most of the
strategy for players. The farther left you are in the fairway, the better angle
the approach shot with less interference from the large bunker.
• C and D represent the more conservative play from the tee and result in
very different approach shots. C has a better angle but a much longer
approach shot. D has a shorter club to the green but a more difficult
angle
• This hole does a great job of illustrating the use of diagonal features and
how they create many lines of play and options for all ability levels.
• A portion of the approach is open allows for run-up shots. At least 1/2 the
green is available for run-up shots regardless of the fairway angle. The
back right portion of the green is most difficult and well guarded by bunker
and slope.
• The open approach on the left is also intentional to allow flexibility in the
set up of the hole for competition. If the tees are placed on the forward
two tees there is an open and direct line to the putting surface over the
lake. This becomes a driveable par 4 with realistic possibilities of hitting the
green. Existing design does not allow for this set up. This is a fun option to
occasionally modify the set up of the course for members.
• Edges of the lake will have large littoral shelf plantings removed to improve
visibility.
• Thinning of vegetation right of the approach and behind the green will
improve playability of the course.
• Varied ground contours in the approach and left of the green add to the
interest of the short game and approach shots.

Description
• As outlined above the left to right and slightly elevated green is very important to the strategy of the hole. It creates better angles for shorter
drives and any drive down the left risking the water.
• The green is protected right by the large bunker that protects second
shots near the short right pin but it is also placed as a punishment for errant tee shots when it plays as a driveable par 4. The 20-30 yard bunker
shot from the far right portion of the bunker is a very difficult shot and
thus a good punishment on such a risk/reward setup.
• The pot bunker back left is also intended to punish players on the
driveable par 4 set up but also has an interesting placement to grab
errant and conservatively played second shots. This bunker becomes
more in play for better players challenging a left or back pin, but it
also becomes more in play for golfers who lay up off the tee and have
longer second shots with less control. They are more apt to run through
and back to this area. Finally, the pot bunker is in play for the better
player hitting driver and hits through the fairway into the rough (past
“D” above). The poor angle and flyer lie from the rough can result in
approach shots running through and back into the area of the pot
bunker.
• The surface of the small green is defined by a more difficult back right
pin “B” with more open pins forward and left “A & C”. A stronger
support roll back left gives players a slope to use to gain access to the
back right pin areas. Creative use of the green contour allows players
another option to access the “B” pin.
Hole 13 represents another long par 4 which plays longer due
to the prevailing wind. Without the wind it’s more a drive
and mid-iron hole. This is the beginning of the contiguous
finishing group of holes, #13-18.
Hole 13
Par 4
Description
• The challenge on this hole is that is a very acute dogleg right and hazard
on the inside of the dogleg does not present a fair challenge for play up
the right side. As it sits now the bunker penalizes the average players by
forcing play left while the longer hitter can easily carry the hazard.
• The elevated inside fairway bunker is removed. A new bunker is proposed
slightly right and at a lower elevation to tie nicely into the native landscape
and reshaped in to a long narrow bunker to form more of a linear cape
hazard. This creates a more open landing area while still challenging drives
of all skill levels aimed for the preferred right side “A”. From this preferred
section of the landing area the approach shot is both shorter and on a
better line to attack the green.
• A number of trees need to be cleared on the inside of the dogleg to allow
for better sight lines and more reasonable recovery shots from the inside
fairway hazard. This is also necessary so that players hitting shorter drives
have a sight line and opportunity to play the hole as the longer hitters.
• The clearing and the bunker realignment aim to take the “90 degree”
dogleg and soften it to make the hole more playable.
• Native plant material is also heavily thinned out to open up the sandy
ground plane for the entire right side of the hole.
• Left side of the fairway is left intact but heavy thinning out of native plant
material is necessary along the entire landing zone ”B” to create an open
and playable transitional zone.
• Shots played safely to the left side of the landing area will have a longer
shot and a less desirable approach shot. Play from here will also have to
navigate over two new approach bunkers.
• A new senior tee is proposed in open dead space between existing back
tee complex and creek.
• The green is orientated and sloped to favor approach shots from the
right side of the landing area, further placing a premium on tees shot
placement. The entire approach slopes from left to right requiring careful
judgment when playing a run up shot.

Description
• This mid-sized green is rectangular and stretches longer in direction of
an approach shot from right side of fairway.
• Players hitting in from the left rough hit somewhat across the green and
bring the bunkers on the right side more into play.
• The green surface follows the natural surrounding slope from high left
to low right dividing into three fairly distinct and strategic sections at
different elevations.
• Section “A” is at a mid-elevation and the most accessible. When
approached from the right side of the fairway the elevated back left
portion of the green acts as a back-stop to hold shots.
• Section ”B” is the lowest elevation tying nicely into natural grade. These
pins are slightly more challenging to access and require either a very
accurate aerial attack or a well thought out run up shot that utilizes the
left to right transitional slope to feed ball to the pin. Distance control is
most important when attacking these pins as shot long will likely catch
a shaved slope and end up in one of a series of bunkers at the edge of
the native area.
• Section “C” is the most difficult sitting up on a small elevated pedestal.
Pin seekers will have to be very precise with their shot to these pins.
Shots short and right will catch a transition slope and feed back into
other section of the green. Shots long will end up in one of two deep
bunkers protecting back left section of the green. From here up and
down will be very challenging.

A private golf course designed by renowned
architect Donald Ross in 1919.
The intent is to embrace the classical
design character of one of Donald Ross’
most distinctive works. The routing of the
course remains intact with all modifications
protecting the original design intent, though
upgraded to accommodate how those
strategic elements present themselves to
players of diverse skill levels – including
those who play from forward tees, midhandicappers and championship golfers.
The master plan embraces the unique
landforms – everything from ideal rolling
terrain, exposed rock, native stands of grass,
and beautiful, mature hardwoods. The plan
also simplifies the lines of play, with mowing
patterns into greens that are more linear and
more expressive of the existing landforms.
The plan also creates a bunker style that
is more scatter-shot in its placement a la
Ross, while providing risk/reward options
for those who challenge these bunkers. At
the same time, these bunkers are pulled
closer into the intended line of play so that
their strategic purpose is more evident and

Vung Tau, Vietnam
The first casino resort development in
Vietnam is accompanied by a links golf
course set in sand dunes that stretch 50
meters above sea level.
Exclusive access to the golf course is
reserved for casino and hotel guests.
The grand scale of the dunes results in
dramatic views of the East China Sea from
16 of the 18 holes. The golf course is
routed in natural valleys to limit earthworks
and preserve the existing contours. Ho
Tram Dunes delivers a world class links golf
experience that rivals the British Isles and
sand belt of Australia.
