| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Sunningdale Golf Club in Berkshire, England, suggesting that "from an architectural standpoint...Sunningdale is one of the most significant venues in golf." States that "the dilemma for Sunningdale [is] how to reap the benefits of its ideal heathland terrain without losing the character that has evolved over the years." Explains that "being acutely aware of the historical importance of [England's] golf courses, [Sunningdale] wanted to take a considered, informed and professional approach to any course modifications. With this in mind the club contacted the European Insitute of Golf Course Architects to invite its members to register their interest in working with the club." Describes the modifications conducted at Sunningdale, stating that "the bunkers have been deepened and the banks built up, with heather planted to roll over the banks and into the sand-flashed faces." Mentions that "it is clear that every detail has been given a huge amount of attention." Profiles the New course [1923] at Sunningdale, suggesting that it is "the most striking work at Sunningdale." |
