I saw this recently and was flabbergasted. Now, I’m all for pushing the envelope, but this seems a bit garish for my taste.
Do you like this? We’re gonna take a ten day poll, results late next week, but I’ll post more pictures every so often. Here’s a link to check out more pix of this course in Dunkirk, France.

Comments eh? I’m a landscape architecture major, aspiring to design golf courses. With that said I hope this is a Photoshop work. I’ve seen many design s like this in French and Italian renaissance gardens, not on a golf course. What ever happened to blending golf courses into their natural surroundings? I actually saw an island green in a golf course design book that looked very similar. Who knows maybe it’s the same architect?
Pretty ugly- there aren’t too many square shapes in natural settings…
very artificial.
Could it be the unhappy ghost of Desmond Muirhead?
This reminds me of when I first started studying golf course design, I came upon an article about one of the pioneer CAD users in the late 80s – I can’t remember who – who had the course built exactly as it appeared on his primitive, lo-res monitor – diamond -shaped bunkers, square mounds, etc.
Looks pretty weird to me, Jay.
