The site comprised of rolling sand dunes and some existing square, excavated water bodies that became part of the lake system through the course. The site elevation varied from two to eleven meters, ideal for constructing a course through and around these dunes.” Steve Shepherdson, ASGCA Associate “A recent project of mine was located just north of San Diego, California in a small horse community known as Valley Center. The Woods Valley course was built to blend the existing environment and also be a model for totally organic and pesticide-free maintenance practices. It is an environmentally sensitive course that is visually attractive and enjoyable to play.” David Ginkel, ASGCA Associate Photo: Brian Oar
