An introduction to the art and science of how golf courses are created — from reading the land and sketching hole shapes to understanding how courses are actually built. Young learners discover why different landscapes produce different kinds of golf, how architects use bunkers, water, and ground contours to create strategic decisions, and what happens between the architect’s first sketch and the day a course opens for play. Every week ends with a creative design challenge, and the course culminates in a complete original hole design — drawn, presented, and defended — that brings six weeks of learning to life on the page.
