Yes, it seems highly likely that the only future courses built in the Republic of Ireland on links land will be on the sites of existing courses.


The same cannot be said about the UK where there remains a chink of possibility to develop on new land.

Many a lessor links (and inland) course could be tweaked for the better with some architectural advice. Doesn’t have to be much either. No big effort nor big money schemes. Almost the opposite. Trees and mowing lines and some gentle year-on-year work by the in-house greenkeeping team with the work overseen by the architect. Soft inexpensive evolution.
