Golf courses go through planning, permitting, and then it's off to construction... The most costly and permanent Design-Phase.
With modern machines the pace of work is quick, so there is a lot to communicate, a lot to see, a lot still to discover. An architect looking at maps isn't getting the same level of detail as an architect on the ground during construction.
The builder left alone for days, weeks or months at a time with a roll of plans is left guessing at a lot of work.
Yep, we only get a short while with our work, and the owner, members, and community get it for a lifetime.
We do owe it to the investor of millions "to get the thing right". Ideally that means the architect leading construction on a daily basis.
It's not easy. That's why a rare few architects in the history of the game have worked in this manner.
