Back to nature
are examples of golf courses, where distinctive local natural or cultural landscape is an equivalent integral part at the designing of the course. That is to say that the courses are less artificial, more natural and more embedded in the local landscape area. Typical local natural or cultural landscape is thus an integral part of the course itself, as it helps to co-shape fairways, greens, direction of play, and of course hazards.
Here are some examples of golf course design by taking the natural or cultural landscape into account.
