This handbook is intended as a tool for a multifunctional process and can be used to visualize the multifunctional potential of a golf course.
It presents the results from a STERF research project – Experience mapping and multifunctional golf course development - enhanced possibilities for increased and more varied use of golf courses (Caspersen, O.H. et al. (2014): Multifunctional Golf Courses. IGN Rapport, December 2014, Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management, University of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg). The full report can be downloaded from the project page.
The goal of this project was to describe the development of a method for mapping and description of recreational experiences on golf courses. The objective was to provide a planning tool that can facilitate development of a broader multifunctional use of the golf course landscape.
STERF is a research foundation that supports existing and future R&D efforts and delivers ‘ready-to-use research results’ that benefit the Nordic golf sector. STERF was set up in 2006 by the golf federations in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Nordic Greenkeepers’ Associations.
