Since 1991, I have designed over 45 new
courses and renovated over 60. I am widely recognized
for my ability to design an upscale golf course for an affordable
price. While
this is a slight hindrance in fame and fortune, it is very satisfying
to help others.
My designs reflect a lifetime in golf. I
have experienced and know all facets of the golf course business. I
have been a superintendent for public and high end private clubs
and I have operated a public course for profit. These experiences
influence how I design a course. Challenging and beautiful
golf courses can still be efficient to build and operate.
I utilize careful stewardship of resources to further the game of
golf in challenging times.
Please feel free to read more about my design
philosophy, as well as my family's history in
the golf business. You can also get a look into the design
process, as well as browse
my portfolio and photo gallery of
original courses and renovation projects.

NEW
COURSE:
Beeches Golf Club in South Haven, Michigan
beechesgolfclub.com
Former flat farmland converted into
290 acres of links-style rolling mounds, deep bunkers, waste areas,
plenty of water...and signature stately beech trees. With five sets
of tees, from 5,005 to 7,115 yards, the course is accessible and
enjoyable for golfers of every level.
"Even though it's designed by a
well-known course architect, Beeches is a course for every man. And
every woman ... [I can't] believe a course this nice is open to the
public. I figured it would be private or, at best, have limited memberships.
The greens are like nothing I've ever seen or played. I've only seen
greens like that on televised tournaments."
