Sustainable Golf & Development, Inc. was formed to provide a comprehensive, hands on approach to golf course architecture. The continuing success of the firm is the result of working closely with our clients to meet their project objectives and fulfill their vision of creating a truly exceptional golf facility. The firm’s philosophy and design process is based on years of experience and the recognition that every piece of property has inherent characteristics or special challenges. We fully appreciate that the development of each golf course presents us with a very unique opportunity to meet those challenges and that the identification, enhancement and incorporation of a property’s best characteristics is fundamental to producing an outstanding golf experience.
By performing thorough site analysis of a proposed property, we are able to achieve the most innovative designs that are compatible with existing conditions and determine the most distinctive individual holes that will present players of all skill levels with multiple strategies, an engaging sense of drama and an exacting, yet thoroughly enjoyable test of golf. At the same time, we design with the traditional values of the game to give each course a timeless quality. It is our belief that a golf course can be designed to provide the best quality golf experience and yet be constructed, as well as maintained for a reasonable cost in order to provide a facility that will be highly competitive.
The firm’s environmentally sensitive approach to golf course development
establishes a compatible relationship between the golf course and the
ecological systems of a particular site. Whether the site is for a new or an
existing golf course, a fundamental goal is to provide resource
conservation, as well as habitat enhancement and water quality protection.
Our design process emphasizes laying the golf course lightly on the land in
order to minimize disturbance to a site. Through our understanding of the
property characteristics, we can incorporate features of the golf course
seamlessly with existing conditions in a manner that is aesthetically
compatible with surroundings and allow for maintenance practices that are
both cost effective and environmentally responsible. We are dedicated to
providing imaginative design solutions, based on sound strategy and a sense
of drama, to create golf courses
that are environmentally and aesthetically
in harmony with each site.
