We are responsible for all aspects of the design process from the conceptual/design phase through construction management. We can also assist in determining if a site is suitable for a golf course. Below is a list of all our capabilities:

• 

  Master Plan/Rendering

  Prepare illustrative Master Plans for private clubs interested in short/long range improvements.

• Produce detailed investment estimates to clubs and clients to enable them to make informative decisions for implementation.
• Prepare presentations for private clubs’ boards, committees, and memberships to study and review.
• Produce detailed Construction Documents including layout/staking, clearing, grading, drainage, grassing, green, and detail sheets.
• Coordinate and manage the bidding process, consulting with the Client on Contractor selection.
• Work closely with team members such as clients, land planners, engineers, and irrigation consultants to deliver an outstanding product on time and within budget.
• Coordinate Construction visits to direct and detail the progress in the field to accomplish our vision.

We also specialize in club renovations that focus on green, tee, and bunker improvements, as well as tree placement/removal, cart path circulation, drainage, grassing, etc.

Green design includes the study of many factors before implementation. The size and shape of the green is directly related to the strategy of the golf hole, as well as the surrounding features of the green site. Sufficient light and air movement is key to sustain turf at its healthiest, so coordination with the superintendent identifies trees that may encroach the green. Maximizing cuppable areas will enable the superintendent to spread out wear patterns throughout the green. Incorporating multiple access points to the green from the cart path is also important in preventing wear patterns/paths in the turf.

Bunkers are designed as targets, hazards, and in some cases to catch balls before continuing toward an “out of play”area. Bunkers are placed strategically to maximize ball position for the next shot. In general, they should be visible from the tee and/or fairway, but there are exceptions. They also shall relate closely to the fairway/green but still allow maintenance equipment room to mow the surrounds. Also, careful consideration is placed to the steepness of the face and the flash of the sand, as to not hinder the maintenance crew or create impossible shots for players.

Typically, there are multiple sets of tees and players choose the tee that is most appropriate for their handicap and skill level. Tees are spaced out and placed to increase the likelihood that drives will end up in close proximity in the landing area. The distance from the back tee to the landing area is the first dogleg, and the tees shall be aligned to this landing stake.
