Golf Course Landscape Enviro Links Design is a skilled professional service in golf course and associated resort / estate vegetation management, landscape design and sustainable ecological habitat creation / protection. Our integrated skills have been of benefit to both new developments and to rectify problems at established golf links. Jamie Dawson, the founder of Enviro Links Design, undertakes the lead role in all golf course landscape projects. This draws upon his landscape design experience, tree assessment, environment planning and Golf Course Architect skills. He has a special affinity and interest in the field as it was his well recognised leading edge approach to comprehensive Golf Course Vegetation Management and Planting Plans from the mid-eighties that was the genesis of his becoming a Golf Course Architect. Indeed many other Course Architects have recognised this skill, and engaged Jamie to ensure their long term course visions are better achieved by a positive landscape contribution. Our designs follow an integrated design approach, where function, aesthetic appeal, long term golfing experiences and strategies, safety and implications for turf management are some of the factors considered before siting and selecting grasses, shrub and tree species. These are also equally relevant in pruning, tree surgery and removal strategies.
