NEW COURSES

“My specialty is giving a lot of golf for a value price… (The) No. 1 objective in design would be to meld the client, the land and the game together in a successful project.”

“The design of a distinctive golf community requires the proper spatial relationship between the elements with a premium on character, atmosphere and views. The ‘special’ community is highly sought after by future homeowners.”

Check out Hidden River featured recently in the Grand Rapids Press:

It is no secret that the world of golf course architecture is shrinking.  The National and world economies have raised havoc on new development of any kind, let alone recreational expenditures.  Private clubs have seen memberships drop and in some cases, plummet.  Daily fee play is shrinking with disposable income.

Opportunities expand as others contract.  I have stepped into golf course operations and experienced a coveted teaching assignment at Michigan State University as well as continuing with golf course design.
