FFL Guidelines for construction of Golf Courses

The FLL has organised a translation of the German FFL Guidelines for Construction of Golf Courses into English. These Guidelines are applicable for the construction and the renovation of all types of golf courses including the practice areas and including the grow-in period until the approval of the lawn areas and the development phase until the opening for play.

The rules of these guidelines conform to the requirements of functioning standard courses and can be used analogous for all types of golf courses including their practice facilities. They are based on results and experiences of profound research, consulting, planning and construction implementation. The Guidelines apply to all kinds of golf courses, as there are practise courses for the short game (pitch- and putt-course), short course (par-3-course), Short course/executive course for handicap competitions, Standard courses, championship courses as well as for the different areas like for example greens, practice greens, roughs, semi roughs, landing areas, bunkers.

The document can be ordered as a download thru the FLL website at a cost of 33 euros at:
