The Economics of Golf Course Construction (feat. Bruce Hepner)
About this episode
The episode discusses the economics of golf course construction and features an interview with architect Bruce Hepner.
What do the different components of a golf course construction project cost? Or really — what should they cost? In today’s episode, we tackle the economics of building golf courses. First, Garrett outlines Alister MacKenzie’s ideas about economy in construction and applies them to today’s realities. Then he brings on golf architect Bruce Hepner to discuss Hepner’s recent work on public courses like Miami Lake Golf Club and his thoughts on the excesses of modern golf architecture.
