About this episode
In the third installment of our serialized introduction to golf course design, we explore how architects and shapers make courses feel at home in their surroundings. Specifically, we discuss tie-ins, the features that connect the manmade landforms of a golf hole to the preexisting surroundings. To learn more about this subtle art, Garrett speaks with Riley Johns ( @RileyJohnsGolf ), one of the architects behind the Winter Park Nine and the new short course at Forest Dunes.
