| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Duke's Course in St. Andrews, Scotland, stating that "American firm Kohler Company...bought the Old Course Hotel and the Duke's Course in 2004, and commissioned architect Tim Liddy to make improvements to the golf course." States that "the ridgeline traversing the site is difficult to deal with in many ways - routing and individual hole design." Discusses rerouting holes and rebuilding bunkers, stating that "Liddy and his team have redone the bunkers in the sand blowout style popularised [popularized] by architects such as Tom Doak and Coore & Crenshaw." States that "mounding in the centre [center] of the fairway on holes four and five has been removed to extend the view from the tee through the fairway and open up the strategy of the holes." Concludes that "the redone bunkering adds more of a risk/reward element...It's more of a heathland or parkland feel, and the bunkering needs to reflect that." |
