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.

Beeches Golf CLubNEW 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."
