Anyone can design a golf course. The odds of it being any good is another question.

Pat - do you think "anyone" could design a course that YOU would be happy playing?

I think many hundreds of people could design a course that I'd enjoy well enough, but my standards are lower than yours, and my experience with great golf courses much more limited and sporadic.

I KNOW I could - it just wouldn't drain.

Perhaps, but most likely you will end up with a disaster like this one...

Was it Ross or Dye who said a golf course was a drainage plan you play golf on?

Not sure if anyone is interested but there is a new golf game on the way which will be community driven. The building of courses looks simple so anybody can design a course.

Check out some of the videos. I am very excited.

I think anyone can design a golf course.  I think anyone can also design a house, a dress, a swimming pool.  Hell anyone can put stiches in a patient.  I think the key here is to define design.  What I don't think anyone can do is design and then build the golf course.

 ;D ;) 8)

Speaking from personal experience , an emphatic yes!  The people on this site would no doubt have a better chance at success than most. Probably would have to do it the old fashioned way , as computer graphics and the ability to  use same are an acquired trait.

As Mike Young states , the,construction and implementation of plans is far more difficult than envisioning the holes.

Archie,

You did more than design a course, you created a unique course in "Twisted Dunes".

What prior experience did you have before embarking on that project ?

Tellus how you established the routing, then the individual hole designs.

Thanks
