In complex areas, two holes may share the same tee box, fairway, or even green. It is also preferable to arrange greens to be close to the tee box of the next playable hole, to minimize travel distance while playing a round, and to vary the mix of shorter and longer holes.Ĭombined with the need to package all the fairways within what is frequently a compact square or rectangular plot of land, the fairways of a course tend to form an oppositional tiling pattern. The layout of a course follows certain traditional principles, such as the number of holes nine and 18 being most commontheir par values, and the number of holes of each par value per course.

Bunkers and sand traps are always built in by architects unless the formation of such items are already in the course's natural terrain. This is increasingly the case as new courses are more likely to be sited on less optimal land. While golf courses often follow the original landscape, some modification is unavoidable. The field is partially represented by the American Society of Golf Course Architectsthe European Institute of Golf Course Architectsand the Society of Australian Golf Course Architectsalthough many of the finest golf course architects in the world choose not to become members of any such group, as associations of architects are not government-sanctioned licensing bodies, but private groups. Some golf course architects become celebrities in their own right, such as Robert Trent Jones, Jr. Although a specialty within landscape design or landscape architecturegolf course architecture is considered a separate field of study. Many private courses are found at country clubs. The first golf courses were based on the topography of sand dunes and dune slacks with a ground cover of grasses, exposed to the wind and sea. Many older courses are linksoften coastal.

A standard round of golf consists of 18 holes.
