Dr. MacKenzie’s Golf Architecture was a monumental book for its time, a timeless book on golf architecture and a must for any student of the field or serious player. MacKenzie was an outdoorsman, a military man, and a doctor of medicine, whose hobby of golf architecture got the best of him. He ultimately abandoned his medical career to pursue golf course architecture and we must be thankful for that. He fully understood the nuances of the game but his genius was borne from his astute analysis of the nature of the course, its purpose and place in golf. One of the elemental distinctions he made was between strategic hazards (primarily sand bunkers, as he abhorred water as a penalty) and random hazards, as were commonly found on Scottish links—most notably at his beloved St. Andrews.

The penal school of architecture was in vogue during much of MacKenzie’s life but he would have none of it. His conception of a perfect course had to do with surrounding the player, frequently challenging him, but ultimately enabling him the freedom to play, to enjoy his day at golf. MacKenzie felt too many golfers looked on hazards “as a means of punishing a bad shot, when their real object is to make the game interesting.” When his masterpiece, Augusta National Golf Club opened there were only 23 bunkers, barely more than one per hole. “Hazards should be placed with an object, and none should be made which has not some influence on the line of play...” While he is in complete agreement with John L. Low’s 1903 comment in Concerning Golf that no hazard is unfair wherever it is placed, MacKenzie avows “a hazard placed in the exact position where a player would naturally go is frequently the most interesting situation, as then a special effort is needed to get over or avoid it.”

In one of the lectures that constitute this volume, MacKenzie identifies thirteen quintessential traits of the best golf architecture—the thirteen commandments for the zealous. Some are elementary: the next tee should be nearby the last green and in a direction away from following players; every hole should be of a different character and every course should have four par-threes, a couple of drive-and-pitch holes, but mostly substantial par-fours. Many qualities are more complicated: “The course should be so arranged so that the long handicap player, or even the absolute beginner, should be able to enjoy his round in spite of the fact that he is piling up a big score.” Besides ranking as one of the finest volumes on golf architecture, this book is valuable for the good course management it teaches, especially to those neophytes. Golfers must use their minds and act with authority; after all, this is war. MacKenzie was a military specialist in camouflaging earthworks; it was that peculiar skill that shaped his concepts for strategic bunkering.

MacKenzie’s simple formula for a good golf course is twofold: it must never become monotonous; and the best course construction is “almost entirely due to utilization of natural features to the fullest extent and to the construction of artificial ones indistinguishable from nature.” He was also one of the earliest proponents of hazards to putting, designing unique greens such as the seventeenth at Augusta where the vertical halves slope in opposite directions, or the fifth with its backward tiering. He wanted the route to the green to be generous, never lined with ball-gobbling rough or ponds, but he could also be audacious when given property with substantially different terrain, as on the Monterey Peninsula for Cypress Point. Wisely there, the green movement is more tempered due to the high risk factor of many other shots, and perhaps the distracting drama of the surrounds. Admirers of the art of Mackenzie in the U. S. should also view Ohio State University GC, the University of Michigan GC and Crystal Downs CC, Green Hills CC (CA ), Pasatiempo GC, Northwood GC and Stockton G & CC.

While totally serious and eminently important, this book is far from a chore to read. Although a stern, physically imposing Scot, MacKenzie liked a joke, even if at possibly his own expense. One of two rival green shapers admitted he could never quite achieve the subtle contours of the other, and asked his secret.

This assemblage of beautiful essays and photos looks at the science and art of golf architecture through many different perspectives. Some of the most knowledgeable voices on the topic of golf-course design, including award-winning architects, past presidents of the American Society of Golf Course Architects, and golf magazine editors express their viewpoints on the subject. Among the variety of issues discussed are the placement of hazards, the effects of technology, restoration versus renovation, and the importance of the rhythm of the course. In the first of four volumes, an essay contributed by Tom Doak, the founder and principal of Renaissance Golf Design, explores the meaning of what a golf architect does and is. Doak discusses the extensive use of mathematics required to evaluate variables in the landscape. An essay contributed by Bill Amick, who designed more than seventy-five courses in eight countries, presents the topic of how designs lend to the affordability of membership. In order to achieve cost-efficiency, golf architects must employ a sharp mind and good business sense. Paired with professionalism, golf architects must also have the soul of an artist and a passion for the game. Inspired by the work of Alister Mackenzie, Todd Eckenrode, the U.S. Public Links 1998 Medalist, addresses his affinity for slopes, contours, and a variety of tee shots. Thomas McBroom, who won Golf Digest's award for top course in 2002, includes an essay regarding the dramatic effects of bedrock, and how the traditional obstacles can be utilized for beauty, character, and strategy. Despite the importance of ingenuity, the spirit of creativity remains an important asset.

An excellent combination of sport, art, and intelligence, golf architecture holds an allure for admirers of courses worldwide.

The complicated process of creating such deceptively simple landscapes has been dissected by the top names in the field. This collection of essays, written by an international array of experts, delves into the complex issues involved in every detail of design. The design of a course is dependent on what elements the designer deems most important. An essay contributed by Jamie Dawson, founder of Enviro Links Design, presents the topic of strategic design interest. This architect takes into account how topography, vegetation, drainage, and fairway routing can contribute to the environmental well-being of a course. Natural landscape is also a concern for Jay Morrish, who was voted golf architect of the year in 1996. He prefers a more literary approach to his design. He likens the detailed craftsmanship of his courses to the careful precision of a poet. Each element must support the other in a beautiful arrangement of natural landscape and manufactured course. Although nature is a large part of any outdoor sports arena, it is often the technological advancements that make the golf course's design sustainable. Karl F. Grohs and Rainer Preissmann, the founding principals of Deutsche Golf Consult, present the topic of improving older courses by updating the existing designs, materials, and buildings to combine the traditional beauty with modern comforts and accessibility. Ronald Fream, an architect with experience in sixty countries, discusses the development of the craft-course design from St. Andrews to the educational and technological advancements that allow new courses to be cost-effective.

Golf is a game that turns even the weekend player into an armchair architect, an enthusiast for the possibilities of golf-course design. In this fourth volume of collected essays, leading golf architects from fifteen countries present their ideas, providing a much-needed international assessment of the principles and practices of golf architecture.

Near the end of the nineteenth century, golf courses moved toward the hearthland, creating the need for thorough reconfiguration of the natural landscape in the clearing of trees and the cultivation of grass to create interesting holes. With the completion of the National Golf Links of America in 1911, the art of golf-course design was born.

The essays and photographs included here represent the tremendous variety of approaches to design principles, from affordability and locality to considerations of the effect of time on the initial design and for specific aspects of the game. The contributors to the book constitute an international "who's who" in the world of golf architecture, with essays from the major golf-course-design firms around the world, award-winning golf architects, and renowned golfers.
