The overriding design philosophy at Grand Coral is that they allow the land to dictate how their golf courses will look and how they will play. Starting with the routing, they look for great green settings and move outward as they uncover whether a particular setting will be a par three, four or five.
These natural settings and the flow of the land is the genesis for everything else they will do on the property. In the case of the Grand Coral project they have discovered a great variety of golf holes that are intrinsic to this unique property.
The layout of these holes has been woven through the other aspects of the planned development so that while there is a cohesive feel to the project, each area also has its own identity. This is an important aspect as the core area of golf allows players to fell isolated within the natural areas of the property and at the same time the adjacent land uses can appreciate the natural amenity.
The golf course will make use of the existing higher ground areas of the property to develop holes that will have undulating topography, offering an experience that will be unique to the area.
Green Complexes
Because of the flow of this property and the variety that naturally exists, Grand Coral will focus their efforts on developing a variety of interesting green complexes and dramatic bunkering. Highest priority is given to the artistic creation of the putting greens and green complexes in the field, so that shot-making and strategy are rewarded through the green and fit naturally into the landscape, and that the short game carries the same interest as the rest of the course.
The greens will flow with the natural contour, offering a variety of pin locations and challenging grade separations. Grand Coral will create bold hazards to confront and interest the best golfers, but always provide options for the player not up to the challenge. The developer insists that the fairways and clearings are sufficiently wide, so that handicap golfers can get around the course with a minimum of frustration and delay.
The look of the golf course will vary somewhat with the variety of the terrain but Grand Coral will tie the overall concept together by employing a consistent bunker style and incorporating native trees and grasses through out the golf course. It is their intention to design a golf course that will blend seamlessly with the existing property; one that will be a challenge and offer reward to all levels of player; a golf course that will be viewed as an instant classic.
