Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the Muskoka Bay Club in Gravenhurst, Ontario, Canada, stating that "[it] is a spectacular...semi-private golf course built on the rugged and wild landscape of the Canadian Shield...[It] is part of a large residential development encompassing over 800 acres." Describes the site, stating that "the more desirable flat terrain and finer soil conditions also happened to be more suitable for the development of residential streets and housing lots." Discusses "using the more rugged, rocky terrain for golf." States that "the first and most vital step in the process was to have the property accurately surveyed." Explains that "nearly every hole on the golf course begins from an elevated tee giving golfers a scenic vantage point from which to survey the fairway and the shot at hand." Concludes that "the nature of the glaciated rock ridges and the flat bottomed, sand filled valleys resulted in an overall development plan where the residential lots only come into contact with the golf course along the eastern boundary of the course. While this limited the lot frontage on the golf course to just two holes, the resulting property values have yielded a substantially higher return than expected, due to the unique and dramatic nature of the golf course." |
