If you are a course owner, club or developer, you get golf course architecture for a new course, a restoration or renovation, or a practice and teaching facility, from the first site study through inspection during construction. Morgan Golf Design, Inc. is a practice in Gulf Breeze, Florida, established in 1999 and led by its president, Ken Morgan, and is listed among golf course architects and firms in golf course construction and design in the United States.

Design, oversight and other services you can hire the firm for

• Design/build, if you want it, with the work done by qualified contractors or under the firm’s own construction management
• Owners representative oversight if others design and build your project, as at Sun City Shadow Hills in Indio, California, for its 2017 and 2018 renovations
• Land planning and landscape visioning
• Synthetic putting green design
• Equestrian design for polo fields and dressage arenas
• Irrigation design by Mike Russo, a principal of Coast 2 Coast Irrigation and Design Group, who is credited with about 1,200 projects
• CADD drawings, digital flyovers and drone flyovers that document construction, offered as extras

Named projects you can look at when comparing firms

You can weigh the firm against specific work. The portfolio names La Tour Golf Club in Louisiana and Ravens Trace in Tennessee as David Toms and Morgan Golf Design courses, earlier work at Kiva Dunes, the Doral Silver Course and El Tamarindo in Mexico, and greens renovations at Bluewater Bay and Timber Creek. Construction management entries include Augusta National renovation work in 2016 and 2017, bunker renovations at Carlisle and Centre Hills in Pennsylvania, and sports field builds at schools in Texas and Florida.

What you receive in each design phase

• Phase I gives you a site feasibility study from aerial photos, topographic surveys and site visits, then routing concepts, land use studies and a hole by hole strategy covering green shapes, bunkers, mounds, swales and lakes.
• Phase II gives you the construction documents, including routing, grading, drainage, greens and grassing plans, with specifications for a greens soil mix following United States Golf Association recommendations.
• Phase III gives you on-site inspection during construction, a written progress report after each visit and a check of contractor payment requests against your schedule as owner.

Background of the firm and its president

Before forming the firm, Ken Morgan held design roles at Jack Nicklaus Golf Services, Dico Golf and Jerry Pate Golf Design, and he holds a landscape architecture degree from the University of Georgia. His listed affiliations include the United States Golf Association and the Golf Course Builders Association. The company says it is an active member of the Donald Ross Society and has worked with David Toms.
