What's New
Site of World Golf Championship Designed by BLA Grad
November 8, 2010
Among golf fans watching for their world to change during "Asia's major" this past weekend, University of Guelph professor Robert Brown had one eye on the action and the other eye on the TV images of the course itself. That's because the Sheshan International Golf Club in Shanghai — site of this year’s World Golf Championship — was designed by one of his landscape architecture graduates.
The course is the handiwork of Neil Haworth, a two-time provincial varsity golf champion who completed his bachelor of landscape architecture in 1986 and now chairs Nelson and Haworth, a top course design architecture firm based in Singapore.
