I took the Golf Course Architectural Planning course at Stanmore School of Business to enhance my skills in landscape design, and I'm glad I did! The course provided a solid foundation in the principles of golf course design, including routing, bunker placement, and green construction. I found the lectures on water management and irrigation systems to be particularly informative, as these are critical considerations in arid regions like my home country of Egypt. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, and I appreciated the flexibility of the online format, which allowed me to balance my studies with my work schedule. While I felt that some of the topics could have been explored in more depth, overall I'm satisfied with the course and feel that it has helped me achieve my learning goals.
