I fixed a swampy low spot by adding gravel and large stepping stones to create this Y-shaped path. The bench is a great spot to watch the golfers. The left hand fork leads to the tees, the right hand to the greens.
A large patio is raised with a dry stack stone wall to form a vista for nice views of the green and sand traps. The curved shapes of the beds are inspired by the sand traps shapes.

Since it won the Inspired Gardens Design Contest in 2006, my garden is still growing. I've added a small path and bench to solve a water problem and now have a nice spot to watch the golfers.
