| Abstract/Contents: | "This paper describes how computer aided design (CAD) can be and has been of benefit to golf course architects. With 'natural' golfing sites becoming very rare the golf course architect has increasingly to compromise because of difficult terrain, conflicting local interests and budgetary constraints. Traditional design skills need to be supported by modern techniques which enhance precision and control. CAD enables the existing site and the proposed golfing landforms to be accurately modelled and analysed. Computer generated course, golf hole or feature prototypes may be evaluated for environmental impact, golfing quality and cost and if necessary modified before commitment to major development and construction costs. The paper identifies the scope for CAD in course design, describes the basic techniques involved and gives recent case studies. In conclusion the cost effectiveness of using CAD in golf course design is reviewed." |
