I dont think there is a nice answer to this simply because golf architects primarily earn their money from building new golf courses and there are going to very few new golf courses built in the near future. In the UK there is virtually no rebuild market, in the US I assume monetary cutbacks will inhibit rebuild and restoration plans, but there will be some. Recovery in the golf course market can only really come sometime after the economic gloom cloud lifts, I think golf will be someway down the recovery road as there is this over supply of courses (in the UK). Resort golf is struggling, many build outs have the golf course with half built homes and that often means half full golf courses, the paymasters will want to see these resorts full before they consider expansion plans or start new resorts.
I said on another thread we need to lose 9 out of 10 architects. I think when it starts again it will be South East Asia and Eastern Europe. I don't know much about SE Asia but certainly in several European countries there are very few golf courses and country clubs and as these contries emerge into westernization golf will likely play a part. There will always be odd cases where someone wants a trophy or maybe a road disects a course and a new one is needed but to answer the Q.... Its going to be bad.
