| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Golf de Dunkerque in Dunkirk, France, designed by Robert Berthet. States that "the course...is located on a former rubbish dump." Explains that "[Berthet] came up with the concept of a Vauban-inspired golf course back in the 1980s, when he was first asked to build in Dunkirk...and...made an analogy between the state of mind of golfers, and of military men." States that "the result is a course with greens protected by bastions and fairways running along escarpments, with groups of tees planted in strict patterns, on elevated and geometrically contoured areas." Concludes that "[golf course architects] should be proud of [their] ability to create an interesting landscape where it didn't previously exist." |
