Lately we’ve been in some bids to build/re-do designs from other professionals.

One of them is a design from a foreign Architect. On our field visits we saw so many absurdities that I wonder why Brazilians insist on hiring international Golf Course Architects.

Ridiculous solutions and plain bad design aren’t rare in these courses. Construction practices are even worse, rendering good and rational maintenance practically impossible, not to mention playability.

I hope some day our investors realize there are good professionals within the Brazilian population and that we reduce our admiration for an architect just because his/her name is a brand.
