About Harradine Golf:
Don Harradine established "Harradine Golf" in 1929 by designing his first course in Switzerland. "Harradine Golf" have designed and supervised the construction of over 200 Golf course projects in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle east, situated in every type of terrain: ranging from arid, rocky, dry, hot and saline deserts, to wet, agricultural fields, sea sides, and even at altitudes of 1850 meters! Construction costs ranged from 850 thousand to 50 million US Dollars.

"Harradine Golf" have designed and are at present supervising the construction of 9 courses situated in Germany, India, Russia, Switzerland, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah and Iran. 25 other projects in Europe, the Middle east, the Americas, Africa and Asia are being designed and/or negotiated with special emphasis on the environment and financial sustainability. The "Harradine" concept relies on the natural preservation and enhancement of the existing sites so that the particular features of each site are improved or enhanced in order to create a unique course for that particular location and not just a copy of one of their courses built elsewhere.

Concept:
The ‘Harradine Concept’ is to integrate golf courses in varied landscapes without disturbing the natural attributes of a particular site. We try to be as ‘Ecological’ as possible but their courses should be golf courses for golfers and not unplayable monuments to ecology. We look for a wise compromise between the constraints dictated by the ecological requirements and the rules and technical demands prescribed by the game. The integration of a golf course within a site is like a heart transplant. The site must not reject it !!!

The individual site must speak for itself and must tell us what we should do! We do not want to imitate Arizona in Switzerland or Scotland in Germany! Each site should be a distinct and unique experience. Our ‘Signature’ lies in the fact that each and every individual site has a direct influence on their designs within the parameters of the game and the constraints imposed by ecological and site restrictions.

Philosophy:
The "Harradine" design philosophy seeks to deliver courses that are a challenge to good players whilst avoiding unnecessary hazards and frustrations to the less experienced golfer who could actually abandon the game or choose a less demanding course. "Harradine Golf" is extremely aware of this problem and the layouts incorporate several techniques to overcome this delicate situation whilst ensuring a practical and uncomplicated course maintenance and an appropriate integration into the existing environment. “Harradine Golf” never forgets that their best friend is the greenkeeper. This very important man will either “make” or “break” any course! “Harradine” golf courses are therefore designed to be as “maintenance friendly” as possible without unnecessary and unwarranted complications.
