Orlando golf courses were designed by top golf course architects around the globe. They were designed by teams of expert golf course architects who belong to various private groups. Golfing grounds refer to fields where golf game is played. The old principles have to be followed when laying out fields to ensure the game is playable.

Most fields usually stick to the original landscape with little or no modifications at all. Most natural hazards such as creeks, ponds, dense vegetation, and steep inclines are maintained though they are included in areas they initially did not exist. Certain natural areas like flood plains with wetlands may not be suitable for golfing. Most sand traps and bunkers are always artificial or man made.

Present fields are bigger than their earlier counterparts. The main reason for expansion of modern grounds is introduction of improved equipment, which allows players to hit the ball further than before. Demand from golfers with the new pieces of equipment and safety has contributed greatly to the recent expansions. Some new grounds that measure between 8000 to 7000 yards are now available.

Out of environmental worry some environmentalists and groups of activists oppose construction or expansion of extra fields. They say that the fields hinder migration of both birds and animals and that the habitats of birds are damaged during construction. It must be realized that some fields offer home to some species of birds and animals.

A course might be built on unused farms, desert, forest, amongst quarries or strip mines, or on sandy places along the coast. Some nations have firm laws that state how and where the fields may be built. In some cases land reform activists and environmentalists take a step of banning golfing tourism in some nations.

Links are the most suitable land for building fields. A link has sandy subsoil and shallow top soil hence not fit for cultivation or development of urban centers. Links are well drained, a feature that makes them perfect ground for golfing. They have exposed sand, long grasses, and the bushes grow low. Major championships such as open championship are usually played on links course.

Many fields have par five to par three holes. Fields with par seven to par six holes are rear. Harder grounds have distant holes or cups whereas easier ones have short spaced holes. The terrain can also dictate whether the field is marked as hard or easy. Long distance tee box is used for tournament golfers. Par four holes may measure 520 yards whereas par three holes might be extended to 270 meters in tournament tee.

Orlando golf courses are large to meet the varied needs of course customers from all regions around the globe. The design of these fields confirm to that laid down rules by the federal government. All people are allowed to play in these fields provided they have the necessary requirements. Golf clubs for hire are available to all who can afford including amateur players or golfers.
