Definition
The strategic design and layout sequence of holes on a golf course, representing one of the most critical aspects of course architecture that affects playability, pace of play, and overall golfing experience. Effective routing considers factors including natural topography, environmental constraints, sun orientation, wind patterns, and walking distances between holes. Master course architects like Donald Ross, Alister MacKenzie, and Pete Dye are celebrated for their routing expertise. Good routing creates natural flow, varied challenges, and memorable golf experiences while working harmoniously with the existing landscape and minimizing construction costs.
