3 TENETS OF LARSEN GOLF
1. Proper Function
What is underground, the unseen infrastructure, is vital to the quality of a golf course. Drainage, irrigation and feature construction should be built to industry standards. Accurate cost estimation gives financial clarity to the work and for the Golf Course Community and its Owners.
2. Interesting Form
Good golf courses are exciting! They should abound with a wide variety of visual and physical stimulation, making you want for more.
3. Deliver Fun
Lastly, the true test of a successful golf course design is that the golf course design intentionally delivers a fun golfer experience. Larsen Golf does not shy away from bold, innovative design to enhance the golfers’ experiences.
Ultimately, there are many golf course design styles. Larsen Golf doesn’t have a certain architectural characteristic, but prescribes that each course should have its own identity.
Whether exploring a complete golf course design or redesign, master planning or improvements, Larsen Golf provides excellent golf course architectural work. Larsen Golf is committed to these 3 tenets and to every Golf Club’s success.
