Step 1: You, along with one or other designers , will be putting together a 9-hole golf course. The maximum area available for the golf course is a land area that is 1760 yds by 2650 yds (you do not need to use all the land). A lovely creek (not a river) runs through the land, and there are trees on two edges, and a housing development on a third. You will need to have PAR information to do this, but these values are approximate, so you do have some leeway.
For the purpose of this activity, cost is no object, so trees and sand traps can be added at will.
Establish a scale: __________ yards = 1 cm
Draw a detailed sketch of your course using the paper by the meter sticks and hand in. Make sure you have added a compass rose and have marked the scale on your paper. Color the course using colored pencils or crayons.
Provide a vector length and heading for the first leg of each hole (We will do this on Monday).
Hints: Club houses are often 6000-15000 sq. ft. Houses are often 1800-4000 sq. ft., with the upper range representing a mansion-style home.
If you choose to make a mini-golf course, you have an area that is 100 yds by 500 yds, and must include a clubhouse, a parking lot, 9 holes of golf, and a snack shop On one side of the course must be a go-kart course.
Hint: Google 'golf course design' if you need a sample to get ideas.
Step 2 :
Each person in your group will make a scale drawing of one hole, using a scale of 3 cm = 120 yards, in Power Point. The scale drawing will be done digitally using Power Point, but three copies of the hole must be handed in. Label the drawing with a hole number, mark the tee with a T, and the hole in a flag. Make sure the compass rose on this drawing matches the orientation of the hole on t he master course. The master course must also be handed in.
