In this episode of the Renovation Report, presented by Capillary Flow and Golf Preservations, golf course architect Dave Zinkand of Zinkand Golf Designs, talks about his philosophy of creating layouts that are playable, easy-to-maintain designs as well as environmentally friendly and sustainable.
Zinkand, whose career began working with the team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, talks about the challenges associated with designing and building WeKoPa Golf Club on reservation land in the Arizona dessert,
work at Bandon Dunes in Oregon and a recent renovation of Monterey Peninsula Country Club in California.
The discussion also addresses work at the Chechessee Creek Club in Okatie, South Carolina, where Zinkand has designed a 12-hole course to accompany the 18-hole Coore-Crenshaw design built 25 years ago.
