Routings

The routing is one of the most important phases in the design of a golf course; one could argue that the routing is the skeleton of a golf course. A good routing flows from hole to hole, is varied, interesting and last but not least safe.

When making a routing a number of boundary conditions are taken into account: where the sun rises and sets, what the predominant wind direction is, if the length and directions of the holes are varied enough, if the dog-leg directions are balanced, if the walking distances between holes aren't too big, if all types of golfers use all clubs in their bag and if the holes follow the landscape.
