Ask Tiger Woods, as he's now in the course design business.
You question should be more specific...ie, how do you layout the topography (Auto CAD), or how do you move the dirt (heavy machinery) or what's a Redan hole?
Redan holes are not at all uncommon in golf course architecture; in fact, many architecture aficionados would say that the Redan is the most copied hole on golf courses around the world.
This goes to show there's quite a bit behind course architecture, but study the Redan hole if you're serious about it. Check out the link below and go from there. I'm sure you'll be able to find more than you ever need to know on-line!

After a survey of the land, I would know where the natural drainage is. From this I could design anything. Of course I would have to survey the property after a 1 week rain, or some such event. After I know where the natural drainage is, I can design a course with that data as the main design focus.
To just willy nilly say, this is where hole 2 is, and this is where clubhouse is is quite frankly, stupid.
Work with the land and the natural layout and you will not only save yourself alot of $ and headaches, you will also not be destroying or causeing damage to adjoining properties.
I favor the Z design for hole layout. But I have seen where the S and the O designs are used wisely.
Main thing is start here, close to Clubhouse, and Finish here, close to Clubhouse.

There is actually software available to help you do this. Helps also if you are a golfer (most golf course designers are) and really know that game and understand what challenges can be built into the course.

Get property dimensions. Divide by 18 for yardage. or decide how long the holes are. Draw out (I use graph paper with squares to get it in perspective) Add sand traps, water, hills, trees etc for interest. Allow for cart paths if needed. and clubhouse. You can do it!!!!
