Two short holes and a practice putting green

The architect Ignacio García, one of the few specialized Spanish architects in the design and in the construction of golf courses, has designed golf courses and facilities of all the dimensions, big and small, of championship and new developments, in areas with different climatic characteristics, inside and outside of Spain.

Ignacio García, with a bright academic career different from the sports, differs from other illustrious golf designers because he knows how to use the difficult field of the architecture, more than the professional player. An advantage that results useful at the time of designing a new installation. Only when the project wakes up his interest, the architect accepts the challenge; neither the dimensions of the new golf course, nor the press, influence the decision.

Ignacio García defends the Golf Promotion, like axis of sports and tourist development, that must not limit itself to the construction of big facilities in areas next to the sea. Smaller facilities, in interior areas, also help in the Golf Promotion and tourist offer. The only requirement, the new installation must be sustainable and respectful with the environment.

IGGA-nava-01With this design philosophy, Ignacio García realized the project of a small practice installation formed by two short holes and a putting green, sited in a land of 5.000 square meters in La Nava, an area that belongs to a small village called Algodonales in the interior of Cádiz region.

The design focused on the entertainment of the owner, relatives and friends, but established quality measurements from the beginning in the construction of greens and tees. The plantation of trees and shrubs of local species. The respect to the natural topography and the adaptation of the holes to the orography of the area.

A small slope turned into a magnificent water course, with small bridges and cascades, which it dies in an artificial lake. The water element designed to separate the holes, not only makes beautiful the installation, also makes difficult the game.
