how do you design a golf course?

Ask Tiger Woods, as he's now in the course design business.\n\nYou question should be more specific...ie, how do you layout the topography (Auto CAD), or how do you move the dirt (heavy machinery) or what's a Redan hole? \n\nRedan holes are not at all uncommon in golf course architecture; in fact, many architecture aficionados would say that the Redan is the most copied hole on golf courses around the world.\n\nThis goes to show there's quite a bit behind course architecture, but study the Redan hole if you're serious about it. Check out the link below and go from there. I'm sure you'll be able to find more than you ever need to know on-line!

The best thing would be to see a professional golfer and he can advise you on how to improve your game. Yahoo's golf tips suggests selecting a target area and focussing on that. \n\n# Stand behind your ball on the tee and pick out a 10- to 15-yard landing area, then picture an imaginary line from that spot back to your ball.\n# As you address the ball, focus on an intermediate target a few feet in front of you. Align your ball square to that point, and don't worry about hazards, distant mountains or anything else.\n# Right before you pull the trigger, take one last look at your landing area. Take a cue from the Tour players, who by this point are only thinking about getting their ball to that spot.\n# Make a confident swing, knowing that you've done what it takes to line up the shot. Practice this on the range, and you'll be ready to conquer any intimidating visual tricks.\n\nThere are also plenty of training aids available see Yahoo directory.

There is no easy way, the correct way is with a proper golf swing. This is achieved through hours and hours of practice and lessons with a golf professional.

Higher irons in the front and middle to low irons in the middle. Drivers and fairway woods should be placed in the top.  In other words, the longest clubs go toward the top and the shorter ones towards the bottom.

I organize golf tourneys and run a league, here are a few ideas:\nAssuming your group has a wide range of handicaps.\nHave Closest to the pin on Par 3's\nHave a closest to the pin (2nd shot) on a couple of Par 4's\nHave a couple of longest putts (made) on different holes\nUse a modified stableford system for point scoring - with handicaps - I generally use 80% of each persons handicap to reduce sandbagging\nIf you have each person put in $20, you can then split it amongst the prizes.\n\nI also put on a alternate shot tourney - you all play the first 18 hole round then after the round you determine partners based on the previous round.  You play alternate shot with both balls and write down the score of the lowest ball.  This way everyone gets to play a full round of golf.  Again, collect X amount of dollars and then pay out the 1st 2 places if you only have 8 people.\n\nWithin each 4 some, we play a game called WOLF.  You can get information on the web about the game.  It is a great game if all 4 players have similar handicaps.\n\nHope this helps.

There's no such thing as "perfect" golf club specs....everyone has their own swing and style of hitting the ball....which leads to many different set make ups....\n\nWhat works for me most likely will not work for you as well...

It has 18 holes each holes have different distances from the previous ones. They each have different levels of difficulty based on the golf course.

ofcourse its  a good business to start...but it should look attractive and something different from all other golf courses..for example if u have been to grapevine mall in dallas u can see a mini golf course where everything will be glowing(with radium green,orange etc)..there will be no light etc..so u have to be creative somehow..
