About the Author
Desmond Muirhead One of the world's leading golf course architects, Desmond Muirhead has designed Mission Hills in Palm Springs, California, and Boca West in Boca Raton, Florida. The golf course at Muirfield Village that he designed with Jack Nicklaus is on most lists of the top 10 golf courses in this country. His most recent courses, Aberdeen, Stone Harbor, and Wakagi, introduced the idea of themes and signature holes with symbols.

Guy L. Rando The founding prinipcal of Guy L. Rando Associates, Inc., has been responsible for the master planning and design of over 700,000 acres of golf course and planned communities, resorts, recreation projects, and institutional projects throughout the U.S. and abroad.

He has received numerous awards for excellence in design and was awarded the Ralph Hudson Environmental Fellowship in support of his research, Golf Courses as Ecologic Sanctuaries.

Rando is also the inventor of Point to Point Golf and a popular lecturer and teacher of golf course architecture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for developers, architects and contractors., July 7, 1998
This is a great book for those interested in the prime factors involved in designing and constructing a golf course. The examples given are clear and easily understandable. The chapter on estimating construction costs is great for those interested in budgeting for new course construction.
