Of all the demands we place on a golf course, we often forget that, ultimately, the most important trait of any great layout is that, no matter what their capabilities may be, golfers should have a lot of fun playing it.
At IVGD, we feel most strongly that our courses should have many design elements that ensure that players really enjoy themselves, time after time, no matter what the weather is doing, their golfing capabilities may be or even how their form is bearing up on any given day.
The first purpose of any golf course should be to give pleasure
Bobby Jones “Golf Is My Game” 1960
Really good golf holes are full of surprises, each one a bit better than the last. Like a first rate dinner, as soon as you have finished one course, something even better is placed before you
Robert Hunter “The Links” 1926
