Best pump house of all-time
« on: March 09, 2013, 03:05:12 AM »
Something that nobody talks about when its done well, and people criticize intensely when not.


Shanqin Bay, Bo'ao, Hainan, P.R.C.
Building Designed by James Duncan (golf course by Bill Coore)

Why is it great?... This is what it looks like when you get the details right.

I know where the worst is...on the high end of a pond on a home-made course south of Buffalo.

Reminds me a little of the cell towers with branches...

The pump house at Sagebrush is pretty cool, too. Looks like an old ranch building that's been on the property for years, now adjacent to the lake at the 13th hole.

I'm going with Sagebrush.
and given that ours is underground, invisible, and located in a well known curve of a famous race track, I'd say Shangin Bay is solidly now in third on the thread ;) ;)

Nice Jeff... The buildings at Shanqin Bay have a similar story. I think 1 of them was an existing water buffalo rancher and the other one was rebuilt to be identical, grass roof an all... or something like that... As the entire property drains into this low point, hiding it out of play was never an option.
