Land
& Golf Course PLANNING
Thompson Golf Planning creates golf courses that allow for the
blend of golf course amenities with other mixed land uses to
provide a community facility that is usable, enjoyable and
stimulating to the user. When the golf course is blended into
the land and allows other land uses to take advantage of
the amenities that a golf course provides, a truly unique project is
achieved.
In order to successfully benefit from a golf course with
associated land uses, one must keep certain precepts in mind as
the project progresses. Land selection can be critical as to
size, configuration, topography, soil conditions, natural
features and environmental issues such as wetlands or habitats
that decrease usable land for production. The golf course should be integrated into the existing
land, and adjacent land uses, as much as the overall land
character will allow, in order to create harmony and balance between the
golf course and other land
uses. The benefits of other land uses to the
course, such as storm water retention, filtering and polishing
of storm water run-off and wild life sanctuaries, can greatly
enhance the overall development.
