Choosing a golf course architect for a new course or renovation
A golf course architect gives you a routed, costed plan before any ground is moved, plus the drawings and specifications contractors need to price the same job. Most firms here also stay on during construction to act for you, check contractor work and payments, and advise on grow-in, which keeps cost and quality decisions in your hands. This list sets out what each firm publishes about its services, regions and memberships, so you can shortlist by the kind of project you have.
