The editors of the Golf Insider, who wrote, Golf Travel by Design, which is otherwise a very good book, subtitle the Ted Robinson chapter, 'beautifying golf and the environment". The only proof they give of the latter is that Ted Robinson, Jr. belongs to the Sierra Club and that Robinson Ranch is supposed to be very environmentally advanced. His designs in P. Springs, such as the Marriott courses, seem very artificial looking-not blended in well with the environment. Maybe looks are deceiving or maybe Robinson is a recently converted environmentalist.
