Soil importation projects on golf courses
Jonathan Gaunt, a golf course architect with a wide experience of such projects, runs through the essentials of soil importation so you can assess whether or not it might be something your club may wish to consider at some stage.
I’ve been building new facilities and features on golf courses using the soil importation method since 1988. This method of golf course construction has become increasingly popular over the years – but what’s the reason for this? It offers golf clubs the opportunity to create new features and new facilities without having to spend any money… which sounds a bit unbelievable, but numerous golf clubs have benefited from this, resulting in new profit-generating facilities on their sites.
