| dc.description.abstract | Over the second half of the 20th century and early
into the 21st century, the golf course industry
boomed and thousands of courses were built.
Beautiful courses have been carved out of unused
land, mountains, prairies, lake and ocean sides,
deserts, and even landfills. However, golf courses
all too often use an excessive amount of water, even
in North Dakota. Desert golf courses use so much
water to thrive that it is impractical to build them.
Excessive water use causes the price of playing to
rise and affects the area’s water supply substantially.
My project uses land that is used for cattle grazing
whose terrain may be too rough for farming and
turns it into usable land for a golf course. This
course would contain areas for water to drain into
detention ponds and stand until suitable time
for pumping it into the sprinkler system occurs.
Drains on the course are tunneled to other areas to
be pumped into the sprinkler system as well. This
creates a hybrid between nature and man; nature
providing rain and man manipulating where the
water is finally sprayed.
After all the research is done for this project,
hopefully it will bring new light and ideas on how
to minimize use of water keep the art of golf course
architecture practical. | en_US |
