Golf Course Architects

Golf course architecture spans more than a century of design philosophy — from the strategic, ground-game emphasis of Golden Age designers like Donald Ross and Alister MacKenzie, through the reshaped, earth-moving layouts of the mid-century boom, to today’s minimalist revival built around natural terrain.
