Golf course architect, Forrest Richardson, had this to say about Olivas Links, “While there are trees, they are short and shaped by the wind. We have kept the holes open. Where they do pinch down, the land curves and drops with the flow; nothing is forced. It all follows the natural lay of the land – everything follows the natural swales and grooves that carry water toward the river.”
