Site Considerations
• Specific grading requirements in the course architecture required constant collaboration with the architect during initial site design.

• A complex stormwater management design was created to accommodate the site's sensitive wetland hydrology.

• Floodplain boundaries were reconfigured to allow construction of greens and trees on the edge of existing natural ponds and wetlands.
