College Course Being Offered: An Introduction to Golf Course Architecture

I will be teaching a class in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) in Syracuse, New York this summer. The class is titled “An Introduction to Golf Course Architecture”. This is the first of a series of courses on Golf Course Architecture that I am preparing for the university. The course will review the history of golf course architecture, the features of the modern golf course, and the design process specific to golf course landscapes. Students will have an opportunity to analyze, contrast and play a historic golf course and a modern golf course. Students will also design their own golf course in a studio setting. The class will conclude with each student presenting their golf course design.

ESF is an accredited Landscape Architecture program and the course provides 3 credits for students. The class will run during the summer session that begins July 5th and runs through August 12th. For more information see: http://www.esf.edu/outreach/summer
