If you are planning a new golf course or remodeling an existing one, you get design plans, cost estimates, tender packages and construction supervision. This comes from Huxham Golf Design Inc., a golf course architecture firm with its head office in Baie-D’Urfé, Quebec.

The company says its principals have 35 years of experience, have worked on more than 50 new golf courses and have remodeled over 30 existing courses in Canada. It is listed among golf course architects and golf course construction and design firms based in Canada.

Plans and estimates for your new course

You start with a concept plan showing routing and any linked housing or commercial development, with a preliminary cost estimate and construction schedule for zoning, permits and financing. Your master plan then sets the base for clearing, cut and fill grading, drainage, erosion control, grassing and planting plans, feature drawings of greens, tees and bunkers, and construction details for items such as cart paths, rock walls and bunker sand. Your irrigation plan, covering pipe layout, wiring and pump house, is drawn with an irrigation consultant.

Restoration and remodeling for your existing course

You can hire the firm for anything from a small bunker project to a long range master plan. Its website lists course inventory reports, research into your club’s original design, 3D simulations and photo enhancements, presentations to your course committee, tender packages and control of the bid process, and post-construction review by an agronomist with grow-in advice for your superintendent. Classic-era clients named include Royal Quebec (1874, Willie Park Jr.), Beaconsfield, Kanawaki, Fairmont Manoir Richelieu and Fairmont Château Montebello, with bunker work also shown at Club de Golf Cap-Rouge and Golf de Beauce.

Supervision and other support

During a build, you can have the firm act at any level from occasional visits to full daily supervision. You can also get project management, expert witness consulting, aerial video, site selection and capital development, alongside feasibility studies and operational consulting.

Where the firm works and courses to compare

The principals have worked in Canada, Finland, Italy, Korea, Morocco, the United States and the Caribbean. The firm keeps representatives in Brazil, Korea and Morocco, and its site is published in English, French, Korean and Portuguese.

Original designs include La Tempête near Quebec City, host of the 2009 Telus World Skins Game, Le Fontainebleau in Blainville, eQuinelle Golf Club in Kemptville and The Lynx at Kingswood Park in Fredericton, named Golf Digest Best New Canadian Course 2003. Abroad, the portfolio lists Diamond Country Club in South Korea, Country Club of Vermont, Sejong City GC, Ibadan Golf Resort in Nigeria and Airai Golf Course in Palau.
