Golf will advance its unparalleled success if it continues to accommodate the needs of the people playing this great game. The need for quality planning and design has not increased; rather, a more sophisticated market is demanding it. The course itself remains as the centerpiece for the entire game; however, newer courses will implement innovative design features while continuing in a more traditional direction. For instance, the great designer, Donald Ross, was able to successfully blend his own design features with those of the old Scottish layouts to create an “American” style. The newer courses will continue to build on that formula by blending modern design touches with traditional designs. In the future successful courses will certainly be environmentally sensitive in the master planning design phase.

“Our goal as golf course architects is to design exciting, innovative and unique golf courses that artfully employ the natural characteristics of the terrain and adhere to sensitive land design where both the environment and man can not only coexist- but also thrive.”
