Abstract/Contents: | States that "heritage is a growth industry in Britain and the classical combination of stately home and landscape garden provides an instantly recognisable image". Discusses the need to renovate, restore, or update old golf courses while still maintaining their historical value. Describes the reconstruction of greens at the Alwoodley Golf Club in Yorkshire and The Deel at Lahinch. Concludes that "maintenance has a profound influence on the playing characteristics and presentation of...courses and the greater the drive for uniformity and consistency the greater the risk will be that the original architectural values will fade". |
