"What's Your Dream Course?" with Christine Fraser, Golf Course Architect

Grueter Golf Presents: Low Expectations

Alternate title: Golf Course Design 4 Dummies
Jen, Kiki, and Haley are joined by Christine Fraser of Christine Fraser Design. We read an article about Christine recently and immediately wanted to be friends with her, despite knowing next to nothing about golf course architecture. She knew from a young age that she wanted to design golf courses, played collegiate golf and eventually became a protégé of Martin Hawtree, the legendary British architect who has worked on iconic courses such as St. Andrews, Royal Birkdale, and Carnoustie (NBD). Tune in to hear us talk with Christine abou

• Camden Braes, the golf course that her grandparents literally built with their own two hands. (Ever heard of a "rock party?")
• Getting used to always being the only woman in the room while working on projects in Europe
• We ask the most basic questions about golf course design so that you don't have to, choose our favorite templates, and accidentally choose very penal ones :/
• The importance of bathrooms in how you experience a course & designing for social impact as an important principle in Christine's approach
