Every golf game becomes more interesting and challenging most especially if the golf ball lands in a water hazard. Basically a water hazard is any natural or man-made body of water which is situated within the golf course's premises. Since water hazards add more fun to a typical golf trip, many golf resorts meticulously design water hazards as an additional attraction and beautification element of the golf course.
Every golf game becomes more interesting and challenging most especially if the golf ball lands in a water hazard. Basically a water hazard is any natural or man-made body of water which is situated within the golf course's premises. Since water hazards add more fun to a typical golf trip, many golf resorts meticulously design water hazards as an additional attraction and beautification element of the golf course.

During the 1960's, several major golf games were televised. Water hazards boosted interesting features to the golf course and and at the same time water hazards were sources of excitement to both player and spectator. Because water hazards became important golf course and golf game elements, most golf vacation destinations architecturally planned and created unique water hazards. Landscape architects however always make sure not to over design water hazards throughout the course as hazards generally decrease a player's playing performance. If a golf ball always ends up in a water hazard, there is a great chance that the golfer gets more annoyed thus enjoyment is reduced.

Water hazards can be a man-made or natural feature. A golf vacation resort that is situated beside an ocean, lake, or river utilizes this body of water as hazards in the golf course. Most of the time, these natural water features are used as main attractions of a golf resort. They give unique characteristics to a golf course which distinguishes them from other resorts. A man-made water hazard consists of an artificial lake, pond, waterways, canals, or other constructed passageways. Landscape architects carefully design these artificial water hazards to avoid damage to the natural environment. Moreover, water features should blend in with the natural environment so that it will look more natural and dramatic.

A good landscape architect will design water hazards such as lakes, which are visible from a far. Water hazards should not be situated uphill as they will not be easily spotted unless the golfer is close enough the hazard. Naturally, water forms around low and shallow areas. If a water hazard is placed on a higher location, it will look more artificial aside from it will have a more difficult time to naturally gather water from rains.

Many water hazards are designed to please a golfer's eye. Landscape architects should consider good breeding grounds for flora and fauna around water hazards. In addition, creating good water hazards also require high expenses. A certain golf vacation destination which has abundant rainfall throughout the year is lucky to enough to save from water and maintenance expenses. Landscape architects normally create canals to transport abundant water supplies. As a result, they can design meandering streams or rivers within the course. On the other hand, other areas which has less rainfall may need higher maintenance costs to preserve water hazards. Creating large water hazards for these places may not be very practical. Given different scenarios and weather conditions, landscape architects should consider budget costs, environmental synergy, and playing performance.

  1. So true. Man made water hazards definitely can add some challenge, frustration, and fun to something like a Las Vegas golf vacation...especially after a few drinks. Great post. Thanks!
