Salisbury, North Carolina · Golf Course Architecture, Planning, Zoning & Infrastructure
Sixteen services, drawn from the routing up
John Mellett walks a property before he draws it, and every plan that follows, the master plan, the grading and stormwater plan, the construction documents, is built on what that walk finds. The list below runs from the first line on the site to the last day of shaping in the field.
Routing plans
The land is walked and evaluated before a line is drawn, so the eighteen holes follow the natural topography instead of fighting it.
- Routing Plans
- Sustainable Golf Course Design
Master plans and renovation
Current against proposed, hole by hole: what is wrong with the hole today, what changes, and why it plays better afterwards.
- Master Plans
Grading, stormwater and planting plans
Contour grading, stormwater control measures and seeding, sodding and planting plans, drawn to keep site grading to a minimum.
- Grading & Stormwater Management Plans, SCMs, BMPs
- Seeding, Sodding, & Planting Plans
