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.
