The course content was incredibly comprehensive, covering everything from the fundamentals of golf course routing to advanced techniques for creating challenging and beautiful layouts. The practical exercises and case studies were particularly helpful, as they allowed me to apply the concepts to real-world scenarios. I was able to design a golf course from scratch, taking into account factors like terrain, drainage, and environmental impact. The course materials were top-notch, with clear and concise instructions, and the instructor was always available to answer questions. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the course and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get into golf course design.
