Information On Golf Course Construction

By Catherine Bell


Many steps are involved in the activity of constructing golf courses. One has to keep many factors in mind so that nothing is left unhandled to cause problems in later stages. Financial feasibility should be the first consideration to start with. Any project for golf course construction requires thorough analysis to determine technical and financial feasibility so that resources are not wasted. An entire team may need to be dedicated to the analysis process to attain optimal results.

The next step is selection of the architect to do the job. There are many architects out there, but selecting one that will do a great job can be a challenge. In the United States, one should choose an architect who is a member of the ASGCA. ASGCA ensures that there members have the right qualifications and are properly licensed.

The next step involves selecting the appropriate site for constructing the course. All sites can always result in beautiful courses, the main difference lies in the cost and amount of time needed to achieve the results. Choosing a financially viable site is always advisable. This is necessary for keeping costs down and ensuring that good results are achieved as soon as possible.

It takes knowledge from different fields of expertise to construct a golf course. As such, the achievement of the goal involves collaboration of experts from different fields. Site planning is among the activities that involve input from different experts. The whole site is planned before any activity begins in order to create an impression of what the final work should appear like. It is after proper planning has been done that activities are arranged in terms of priority and each expert is given their portion of work according to the skills they have.

Lack of necessary land entitlements always leads to delays in commencement of projects. Land entitlements are the relevant approvals that give constructors the go-ahead to start work. Without these approvals, various levels of government are likely to cause problems. Confirming from local governments what approvals are needed in necessary. Also streamlining financial sources also eliminates possibility of stagnation of the project.

The planning phase usually results in many drawings and similar documents. These documents are meant for various team members and key decision members, some of which may not have any technical knowhow in construction drawings. As such, it is important to ensure that the drawings, charts and other similar documents are simple to understand to avoid confusion. The intent of each document should be easy to understand.

Proper tracking and management of finances is important in this activity because there are several steps involved. It is always better to exceed the approximate budget by some amount. The excess amount will take care of inflation and cost variations since some projects can last a very long time.

Lastly, finances for maintenance should be set apart for that task. The end of construction does not mark the end of everything, but instead opens the gate for maintenance. This could be a major sources of budget deficit is proper planning is not done.
