INTRODUCTION
Paradise Palm Golf Club, a well established golf club in Cairns, has planned to expand its operations by building a brand new golf course in Townsville. As the success of the golf course largely depends on the extent to which the users find it enjoyable, Future designers now face the challenge of designing an 18-hole Golf course that fits within 42 acres, that has a maximum enjoyability index. Based on the enjoyability index associated with each type of hole in the golf course, we should pick the number of holes in each category such that overall enjoyability level is at its highest. Also, Future designers have an additional option of having an extended club house, which is known to enhance user enjoyment. Two models are developed using Linear Optimization Model (LP) for each alternative, and we analyze and evaluate both the current scenarios and their impact on the overall enjoyability of the gold course’s users. Based on the findings, recommendations are provided to the management of Paradise Palm Golf Club.

STEP ONE: DECISION VARIABLES
The first step towards designing a golf course that commands a good enjoyability index is to identify the decision variables that have to be changed to in order to arrive at an optimum solution. As per the information provided, the following decision variables have been identified.
No. of Units Straight par-5 holes No. of Units Dogleg par-5 holes No. of Units Straight par-4 holes No. of Units Dogleg par-4 holes No. of Units Long par-3 holes No. of Units Short par-3 holes
STEP TWO: OBJECTIVE FUNCTION
The objective function in designing the Golf Course is found to be the maximization of the Enjoyability Index which is based
