(一)Restoration & Renovation重建和翻新
Work on existing golf courses requires patience and understanding to ensure that damage is not inflicted on the golf course. Clubs often look for change, frequently in the guise of staying current with the latest golf design trends, but careful deliberation is appropriate.
对已有的高尔夫球场上的重建工作需要耐心和谅解,确保不会对高尔夫球场造成伤害。会所常常需要改变,通常要与最近的高尔夫设计潮流相符,但是需要给予适当的考虑。
DeVries Designs?approach to work on existing courses is to first understand the history of the course. This helps determine whether there is a need to restore historically significant or unique features and to develop a philosophy that will guide the golf course in the years to come. From this, a long range plan for the golf course is developed, providing a solid foundation that will prioritize what should be restored, renovated, or altered, and when it should be undertaken.
