The Fall 2026 issue of\u00a0By Design magazine <\/a>from the American Society of Golf Course Architects, and produced by the team behind Golf Course Architecture, is now available in digital format.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

The cover story from the latest release explores the attributes of a great opening hole<\/a>. Architects Tom Marzolf, John Steidel, P.B. Dye, John Harvey, Chris Cochran, Stephen Kay, Mike Dasher and Jeff Lawrence discuss the elements that are at the forefront of their minds when designing an opening hole.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

\u201cA great opening hole begins with a visually dramatic composition that immediately sets the tone for the golf adventure ahead,\u201d says Jeff Lawrence.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

Also in the issue, By Design interviews Jim Nantz<\/a>, who is the 2026 recipient of the ASGCA Donald Ross Award. Nantz speaks about his home course, favourite layouts, forays into design and why the First Tee means so much to him.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

\u201cGolf course architecture has so much to do with the way people consume their golf coverage,\u201d says Nantz. \u201cI am keenly aware of the people who shape the earth of the courses we broadcast tournaments at. I hope my appreciation for their work and craft comes out on those broadcasts.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

There\u2019s much more too, including a report on the project completed by Tyler Rae on the North course at Detroit Golf Club<\/a>, before it hosted this year\u2019s Rocket Classic on the PGA Tour; insight from Niall Richardson, superintendent at Bernardus Golf, which is preparing to host the 2026 Solheim Cup; and a page from Tom Marzolf\u2019s sketchbook for Naples Beach Club in Florida.<\/p>\n
