2017 list of Design Excellence
Recognition Program honorees.
The sixth list of its kind includes

addressing unique design challenges.
The nominations were reviewed
by a panel of golf industry leaders,
including representatives from the Club

Course Builders Association of America
and Golf Course Superintendents
Association of America.
“These wonderful golf facilities,
and the architects who worked
so closely with them, have my
congratulations and great respect,”
said ASGCA President John Sanford,
ASGCA. “The projects recognized
here continue the tradition of the
Design Excellence Recognition
Program; well-designed facilities
that make a positive impact on the
game to benefit golfers and their
communities.”
Since its creation, the Design
Excellence Recognition Program has
highlighted innovation and problem-
solving skills required of today’s golf
course designs, from new 18-hole
golf courses to practice facilities and
renovations of various sizes.
