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.

many golf resorts meticulously design water hazards as an additional

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.

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!
