概要

Water sits at the center of golf’s sustainability conversation. In many regions of the world, it is no longer simply a resource to manage, but a responsibility to steward carefully. Modern golf course architecture increasingly reflects this reality, with efficient irrigation systems, precise targeting of playable areas, and a commitment to reducing unnecessary inputs.

Yet sustainability extends beyond water. True environmental responsibility begins in the routing and shaping of the land itself. By limiting earth movement, preserving natural contours, and relying on materials already found onsite, architects can significantly reduce environmental disruption while enhancing authenticity. In many respects, this approach mirrors the philosophy of early designers who lacked today’s heavy machinery and were forced to work with the landscape rather than against it.

The modern sustainability movement, in many ways, represents a return to golf’s architectural roots. By respecting the land, minimizing disturbance, and designing with intention, firms like Mackenzie & Ebert continue to shape courses that honor both the game and the landscape on which it is played.
