| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Chateau des Vigiers in Dordogne, France, highlighting renovations designed by Donald Steel. Mentions potential maintenance challenges at the course, stating that "in France, as well as elsewhere in Europe, the environmental constraints on new golf course development are strict, and the planing for the new nine at Chateau des Vigiers has environmental matters on the forefront." Highlights environmental stewardship efforts, stating that "new holes must be water-neutral." Explains that "as with the existing course, the new holes will be maintained in a resort style to avoid discouraging holiday golfers and encouraging quick play. This means relatively short rough and wide fairways, but with challenge promoted through fast greens with significant undulations." |
