Golf Course Architect
Kyle Franz is a contemporary golf course architect noted for his minimalist, land‑first design ethos inspired by the Golden Age of golf. He co‑designed the Broomsedge Golf Club in Rembert, South Carolina, embracing the region’s naturally dramatic sand‑hill terrain and strategic routing.
Franz emphasizes minimal earth movement, leveraging ridgelines, valleys, chasms, and plateaus to shape a course that feels timeless and deeply connected to its landscape. His design for Broomsedge, with 20 green sites across 18 holes and cross‑country routing options, exemplifies his commitment to variety, replayability, and architectural depth.
Before founding his own path, Franz gained experience under Tom Doak and Bill Coore—working on projects like Pinehurst No. 2’s restoration and courses at Pacific Dunes and Barnbougle Dunes—which informs his thoughtful, rugged design sensibility.
As of now, there is no publicly available information regarding his birth year, place of birth, or firm name, so those remain unknown.
