Only a few of our projects to date have included a major residential component; we prefer not to take on such work unless we can be involved in the land planning process from the start, as the routing of the golf course plays such a crucial role in our style of design. At Tumble Creek, a handful of simple adjustments from a previous land plan allowed us to build a bunch of holes that just laid across the natural terrain, while the decision to concentrate earthmoving efforts at one hole -- the par-5 fourth -- resulted in one of the most spectacular holes in our portfolio.
