Our Vision
The acupuncture approach
We keep earthworks to the absolute minimum, treating a course the way an acupuncturist treats a body: precise interventions at the points that matter.
By focusing renovation on selected targets, we create the maximum effect with the smallest effort, the least disturbance to the course and landscape, and lower costs.
Too often architects concentrate on unnecessary earth movement, or on features too large, rather than the fine details that truly make a difference, the ground around greens and bunkers.
Designing new courses
A structured route from raw site to finished course
Every new course follows a clear sequence, so the club knows the standard, the length, and the likely cost long before ground is broken.
Feasibility & SWOT
We study the site, the landforms, slopes, soil and drainage, then set out building methods, a full cost estimate, and a programme of work.
Layout plan
An initial course layout gives a clear indication of overall length, standard, and an early estimate of costs.
Working drawings
Contoured drawings of every green, tee and bunker, drawn from an accurate topographical survey so contractors build with precision.
Documentation
Specifications, a bill of quantities and a tender contract detail the materials, methods and agronomist input for accurate pricing.
Tender & appointment
We examine tenders in detail and recommend the appointment of the right contractor for the work.
Construction oversight
Regular site visits, at a frequency agreed with the club, ensure the build follows the proposal exactly.
Renovation & restoration
Respectful renewal of existing courses
We conduct bespoke restoration projects on existing courses, with particular care on historic sites. Each begins with a briefing, followed by a site visit and analysis.
Our restorations are informed by a deep understanding of the history and geomorphology of the site, its original design philosophy and style, and the issues raised by the club.
Preliminary consulting for clubs at any stage
Since July 2019 the team is part of GEO Foundation network as an official GEO independent verifier.
