So you want to be a golf course architect and make history? In a unique offering, the Golf Course Architecture Boot Camp held at Erin Hills in September costs $20,000 but the proceeds go to the Clearview Legacy Foundation.
Led by renowned architects, instructors will guide 16 attendees through the technical aspects of design including design philosophy, routing types, working with topography, hazard placement and green design. Students will be tasked with the routing and detailing certain holes as teams, and the result will be a second Erin Hills golf course designed by the workshop participants. To learn more, visit the ASGCA Foundation’s site.
