W elcome to this special edition of By Design, devoted entirely to
the fifth annual Design Excellence Recognition Program from
the American Society of Golf Course Architects.
Since its creation, the program has highlighted the innovation and
problem-solving skills required of today’s golf course designs, from new
18-hole layouts to practice facilities and renovations of all sizes.
Every year I look forward to discovering more about the projects that
have been highlighted as the best of golf course design, and I am always
impressed by the approaches that fellow ASGCA members have taken to
the expectations set by their clients.
This year, 11 facilities have been honored by the program, and the
project profiles on the following pages provide a fascinating insight into
the work of golf course architects.
I would like to congratulate all of the clubs involved, and thank them for
trusting the design of their most valuable asset to an ASGCA member.
Greg Martin, ASGCA
