DA led a series of brainstorming workshops to create a vision for a walking golf course in the California Wine Country. Recently, construction began on the course clubhouse and the property will eventually include a glider-port, bunkhouse and cottages.
Humble Values
In the essential spirit of a walking golf course, the vision for the structures is that utility, simplicity and ease of maintenance should win out over pretty, plush or precious every time. A nearby milking shed served as inspiration for the form of the modest clubhouse.
Getaway
Located at the upper end of Northern California’s wine country, the property is sufficiently far removed from the distractions of urban life to make it a genuine retreat - but close enough to permit day trips and short stays from most Bay Area locales.
