Basics About Orlando Golf Courses

By Elena McDowell


Orlando golf courses were designed by top golf course architects around the globe. They were designed by teams of expert golf course architects who belong to various private groups. Golfing grounds refer to fields where golf game is played. The old principles have to be followed when laying out fields to ensure the game is playable.

Most fields normally follow the original scenery with little or no changes at all. A good number natural hazard like dense vegetation, creeks, steep inclines, and ponds are preserved although they may be introduced in parts they initially did not grow. Some natural parts such as flood plains containing wetlands are really not fit for golfing. Most bunkers or sand traps in grounds are man made.

Current fields are larger than the first versions. The major reason for enlargement of current grounds is introduction of enhanced equipment, which allows golfers to hit balls further than in the past. Demand from players owning the new tools and safety has greatly facilitated the current expansions. Some new courses, which range between 8000 yards to 7000 yards, now exist.

Out of environmental concern some groups of activists and environmentalists oppose expansion or construction of additional fields. They say that the grounds hinder migration of birds or animals and that the homes of different birds and animals are spoiled during construction. It must be known that some fields are home for various species of animals and birds.

A course may be built in a forest, desert, among quarries or strip mines, on sandy regions along the coast, or on unused farms. Some countries have strict laws that specify how and where such fields are to be built. In some extreme cases some environmentalists and land reform activists go to the extend of restricting golf tourism in some countries.

Fields are better if constructed in links. A links has sandy sub soils and thin tops soils thus not suitable for activities such as growth of towns or cultivation. A links has well drained soils a factor that makes it a good area for golfing. They have low bushes, long grasses, and exposed sand. Crucial tournaments like open championships are typically played on link courses.

Many fields have par five to par three holes. Fields with par seven to par six holes are rear. Harder grounds have distant holes or cups whereas easier ones have short spaced holes. The terrain can also dictate whether the field is marked as hard or easy. Long distance tee box is used for tournament golfers. Par four holes may measure 520 yards whereas par three holes might be extended to 270 meters in tournament tee.

Orlando golf courses are huge to meet the varied requirements of players from different places around the world. The plan of these fields confirm to the requirements of the federal government. Everyone is free to play in the courses provided they confirm to the required requirements. All forms of golf clubs are found on hire to everybody who pays the hiring fees including trainees, expert players, and trainers.
