Lobb and Lundin collaborate on Gävle masterplan (golfcoursearchitecture.net)
Gävle Golfklubb in Sweden has appointed golf course architects Tim Lobb and Christian Lundin to develop a new masterplan for its two 18-hole courses and practice facilities.
It will be the first time Lobb, whose firm is based in Woking, England, and Lundin, the Swedish architect who also heads up Henrik Stenson’s design practice, have formally collaborated on a design project. Both architects were in London last week for a ‘Live Learning’ meeting of the European Institute of Golf Course Architects – of which Lobb is the current president and Lundin a council member – at which they spoke exclusively with GCA about the Gävle project.
“We were both invited to submit a proposal to the club separately,” said Lobb. “We’re good friends and have great respect for each other professionally and felt that this would be an ideal opportunity to combine our skills.”
