Abstract
Golfing as a sport is not only a major social movement organized by volunteers for mutual production and consumption, or part of communal welfare provided by public service, but also a major service industry with commercial trading and associated functions like sponsorship viz a viz competition and entertainment. Suffice to say that golfing constitutes an interplay of sports, recreation and tourism, which can be harnessed through scenic natural environment. Several golf clubhouses and recreation centers have been constructed in the past, but in the urge to build quickly, the result have not always been architecturally distinguished or environmentally sympathetic. This thesis will be an enlightened synthesis of active sports and passive recreation linked with nature. Aside the conservation of the fragile ecological environment, a key design determinant will be the provision of an environment which will facilitate the behavior needed or desired by people to achieve their goals.
