By Design – Issue 50 // Fall 2020

25 golf course architects to integrate such facilities into their properties. The years in which we have been producing By Design have been described by some as a new Golden Age for golf design. Certainly it seems that with fewer golf courses being built, golf course architects are grasping those opportunities they get. New layouts like Streamsong Black in Florida, Cabot Cliffs in Canada, TPC Danzante Bay and Twin Dolphin in Mexico, and Bernardus in the Netherlands will grace ‘Best course’ lists for years to come. The renovation market has been fascinating too. The restoration of Pinehurst No. 2 may be the best known, but many clubs have seen a surge in popularity following a renovation, such as Meadowbrook in Detroit, Vestavia in Alabama and Braemar in Minnesota. To mark this 50th issue, we’ve had a renovation of our own, too. The magazine has always been a digital experience, but with more people than ever viewing By Design via smartphones and tablets, we wanted to ensure that the magazine was as appealing and easy to read on small devices as it is on large. We hope that you enjoy the new look. Finally, a huge thank you to our sponsors Profile Products, Rain Bird and Toro. These organizations do great work to advance golf, and have made By Design possible since the very first issue. • View the entire back catalog of By Design at asgca.org/by-design-magazine BY DESIGN ISSUE 50 // FALL 2020 WATCH THIS SPACE How smallparcelsof land can be transformed to add anew dimension to agolf club Excellence inGolfDesign from theAmericanSocietyofGolfCourseArchitects ALSO: // Boar’sHead // CompassPointe // Turning50 THE SINGLE BUNKER Brandon Johnson,ASGCA, shareshisappreciationof a lone traponagolfhole
