Ignacio García es uno de los pocos arquitectos españoles especializados en el diseño y en la construcción de campos de golf que ha diseñado instalaciones de todas las dimensiones, grandes y pequeñas, de campeonato y turísticas, en terrenos con características edafológicas y climáticas diferentes, dentro y fuera del territorio nacional. Con una carrera profesional académica brillante, distinta a la deportiva, se diferencia de otros diseñadores ilustres por estar más acostumbrado al rigor de la técnica en el difícil campo de la arquitectura que al rigor de la alta competición. Una ventaja que resulta de gran utilidad a la hora de diseñar, de principio a fin, una nueva instalación. Basta con que el proyecto despierte su interés y sea sostenible y respetuoso con el medioambiente para que el arquitecto acepte el reto. Ni el tamaño, ni los medios de prensa, condicionan la decisión. En sus propias palabras, "la Promoción del Golf, como eje de desarrollo deportivo y turístico, no debe limitarse a la construcción de grandes instalaciones en terrenos próximos al mar. Instalaciones menores, en terrenos de interior, contribuyen de igual modo a potenciar y diversificar la oferta deportiva turística".

Con esta filosofía de diseño, Ignacio García aceptó realizar, a petición de Prodigolf, S. L., el proyecto de una pequeña instalación de prácticas formada por dos hoyos cortos y un putting green, en una parcela de 5.000 metros cuadrados de superficie perteneciente a una finca privada situada en La Nava, pedanía de Algodonales, un pequeño municipio gaditano de interior. El diseño, enfocado al recreo del propietario, familiares y amigos, estableció medidas de calidad en la construcción de los greenes y los tees de salida; en la plantación de árboles y arbustos de especies autóctonas; en el respeto a la topografía natural, y en la adaptación del recorrido a la orografía del terreno. Una pequeña vaguada se convirtió en un magnífico curso de agua serpenteante, atravesado por pasarelas y cascadas, que nace y muere en un manantial y estanque artificial. El elemento de agua diseñado para separar los hoyos, no solo embellece la instalación sino que dificulta el juego.

Two short holes and a practice putting green.
The architect Ignacio García, one of the few specialized Spanish architects in the design and in the construction of golf courses, has designed golf courses and facilities of all the dimensions, big and small, of championship and new developments, in areas with different climatic characteristics, inside and outside of Spain.
Ignacio García, with a bright academic career different from the sports, differs from other illustrious golf designers because he knows how to use the difficult field of the architecture, more than the professional player. An advantage that results useful at the time of designing a new installation. Only when the project wakes up his interest, the architect accepts the challenge; neither the dimensions of the new golf course, nor the press, influence the decision. Ignacio García defends the Golf Promotion, like axis of sports and tourist development, that must not limit itself to the construction of big facilities in areas next to the sea. Smaller facilities, in interior areas, also help in the Golf Promotion and tourist offer. The only requirement, the new installation must be sustainable and respectful with the environment.
With this design philosophy, Ignacio García realized the project of a small practice installation formed by two short holes and a putting green, sited in a land of 5.000 square meters in La Nava, an area that belongs to a small village called Algodonales in the interior of Cadiz region. The design focused on the entertainment of the owner, relatives and friends, but established quality measurements from the beginning in the construction of greens and tees. The plantation of trees and shrubs of local species. The respect to the natural topography and the adaptation of the holes to the orography of the area. A small slope turned into a magnificent water course, with small bridges and cascades, which it dies in an artificial lake. The water element designed to separate the holes, not only makes beautiful the installation, also makes difficult the game.
