When we are commissioned to design a new course, the services of Colin Montgomerie Design can be split into several distinct phases:
 
Existing Site Plan
The first step is to review the existing site to determine its
suitability for golf. We make initial investigations into the
physical characteristics of the site including topography, soils,
environmental, ecology, water availability and climate.
 
Land Use Plan
After the initial investigation, we determine the best locations
for golf, for housing, for hotels or for any other commercial activities planned for the development. This often involves collaboration between us and the client, master planners, housing architects, engineers, planning consultants, financial advisors, environmental agencies and the planning authorities.
 
Golf Course Plan
Finally, a golf course plan is developed showing how golf will flow through the site. Once agreed by the client, it is ready for
submission to relevant authorities for approval.
 
Construction Plans
Upon approval, detailed design work commences to produce the full package of plans required for construction. These will include plans for staking, grading, clearing, drainage, landscape concept, iGrrigation, grassing, green details and construction details for each element of work.
 
Construction Documentation
In addition to the plans, other documentation is required prior to construction starting. Detailed specifications, quantities and
tender documents are critical. These are all produced by us prior to negotiating the construction contract.
 
Construction Inspection
During the construction phase, we undertake frequent
inspection of the work to ensure that the designs and
specifications are followed by the contractor. At the same time, design changes deemed necessary due to site conditions are reviewed during these visits.
 
Multimedia
We are able to produce 3D animated fly-throughs and visuals of proposed golf holes. A powerful sales tool, it is also a hugely successful means of demonstrating the design intent to client, planning authorities and potential customers.
