The designer of Olivas Links (Forrest Richardson) had this to say, “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 flows with the natural lay of the land – everything follows the natural swales and grooves that carry water toward the river.”
