Once the Concept Plan has been approved, a detailed Master Plan is developed, based on a more thorough examination of all of the elements and restrictions of the site and regulations pertaining to the project.  The Master Plan becomes the base plan for all of the other planning to follow.

The Master Plan shows the precise design elements, difficulty and style of the golf course features that will give the layout its personalized character.

The Clearing Plan shows the various zones of vegetation to be cleared and indicates the potential areas for disposal of stumps and debris.

All areas of feature trees that are scheduled to remain are outlined as well as their incorporation into the overall design of the golf course.

The Grading Plan shows the proposed final elevations of all of the design elements of the golf course, such as; the greens, tees, bunkers, ponds, etc…

The Grading Plan also shows all of the earthwork operations with the quantities that are to be pushed and transported during construction.

(A detailed and accurate Grading Plan is essential in establishing a realistic budget and construction schedule for any project)

The Drainage Plan provides the design of the drainage system throughout the golf course.  This plan shows the location, elevation and size of the pipe network that is to be installed during construction.

All major drainage pipes that are beyond the basic golf network are coordinated with the overall site engineer to ensure that proper water flow through the entire site is achieved.

(A detailed and accurate Drainage Plan is essential for establishing a realistic budget and construction schedule for any project, as well as to ensure quick and complete water evacuation of the site after rainfall or irrigation use.)

The Environmental Protection Plan shows the design of the elements of the storm water management system and the environmental protection measures that are to be installed before, during and after construction. 

This plan will typically show the silt fence, sediment basins & temporary diversions…. that are used to control storm water run off during construction.

The Environmental Protection Plan is used to gain the environmental approvals and permitting required before construction can begin.

The Grassing Plan shows the different areas to be grassed, and the specific varieties of turf to be seeded and sodded throughout the project.  As there are many new varieties of turf grass available for the different types of climates and levels of golf courses, seed choice and grassing design is an important element of the overall course design.

The Planting Plan shows all of the different varieties of plantings that are recommended throughout the project.  Trees often make up the bulk of the plantings, but bushes, shrubs, flowers and marsh grasses can also become an important component of the planting strategy and design.

The Feature Drawings are specific detailed plans of the greens, tees and bunker complexes.  These plans provide maximum detail to allow for accurate construction of the most important feature characteristics of the golf course.

The Construction Details provide a clear and concise illustration of the proper methods and materials of construction and installation of the hard features of the golf course (i.e.: drainage, cart paths, rock walls, green profiles, bunker sand, etc…).

These details provide the contractor with all of the necessary information and specifications required to ensure quality installation of the various elements of the project.

HGD will work with the irrigation specialist/consultant who will design a detailed Irrigation Plan.  This plan shows the layout of the pipe network, a wiring diagram, the pump house set up and water source that make up the irrigation system.

A proper design of the irrigation system is crucial to allow the superintendent complete control over coverage, timing and duration of water application to the golf course.

The first step in the renovation process is to take a complete site inventory of the existing conditions of the golf course.

All of the features with their characteristics and style are evaluated, as well as the course infrastructure, irrigation, drainage, cart paths, soils, vegetation, etc…  These features are analyzed to form the base upon which proposals are formulated.

After the site evaluation, a complete set of renovation/construction plans are developed.  These plans show the proposed final grades of all of the design elements slated for renovation. As well, the various plans outline the drainage modifications/additions, earthmoving, grassing work and plantings to be carried out during the renovation process.

A complete set of drawings along with the specifications package allows the client to enter into the tendering process.

HGD’s skill and experience allows us to provide complete and thorough control over the bid process, as well as the day to day renovation operations.

HGD personnel work closely with the relevant course committees to allow for complete understanding and control of the renovation work through its various stages.

HGD provides post construction inspection and review by a qualified agronomist to ensure that the renovations are brought into play with the best possible results.

As required, a set of recommendations for the course superintendent to review will outline the various steps that should be taken to ensure a quick and successful grow-in and maturation.

HGD personnel have been consulting on construction work for over 30 years, on a wide variety of terrain, climates and design styles.  It is our experience that allows us to provide timely, competent and thorough site consulting for the duration of the construction process. We are proud of our excellent reputation and strive to exceed the expectations of our clients. Since there are many different methods of organization for the construction of a golf course, HGD is available to provide anywhere from minimal involvement up to complete daily supervision.  Close control over our projects allows us to maintain very high standards, while meeting budget and scheduling targets.  HGD’s experience and knowledge allows our clients to be sure that they are getting the best possible product at the best price, on time.

This process allows our clients to have complete control over all decision making thus allowing them to build at considerable savings of money and often time.  The cost that is typically allocated to the risk taken on by a contractor is given back to the client only to be spent if and when it is warranted.  Many of our clients find that with the proper experience, project management can provide many benefits in cost; scheduling and decision making that are difficult to forego.

We have consulted on safety issues related to older course design, where parameters either didn’t exist or have become inadequate for the modern game. Even some newer residential/golf course developments that did not use qualified designers have been encountering safety issues. 

Our experience allows us to quickly evaluate the problem by analyzing the root causes. We are able to provide a clear analysis and recommend effective solutions to the challenges faced by golf courses today. 

Some of our recommendations over the years have included, but not limited to; hole re-routing, bunker additions and removal, pond additions, cart path relocation, tee relocation and/or re-alignment, fairway contouring, signage & marshalling, tree planting/transplanting, the introduction of fescue grasses and environmentally sensitive zones and protective netting. 

We also provide effective and fair mediation services for disputing parties in order for them to resolve their differences.
