Project Notes

My first left coast job was a intensive course wide renovation including redesign and reconstruction of all greens, bunker renovation/restoration in the Bell style, regrassing the fairways, sodding 70 acres of rough, design and construction of entirely new tee complexes, development of a new short game practice area and re-grading and equipping every fairway with extensive new drainage network. So much work that I missed the parade!

What They're Saying

"We interviewed several architects whose names you could say were more prominent, but Brian overwhelmed us with his ideas and enthusiasm. He's so hands-on. I mean, he was here once a week for 25-30 straight weeks. No one else does that - maybe an assistant, but not the architect himself. Brian handcrafted our course." ~ Mark Sarkisian, Grounds Committee, Annandale Golf Club
"The best looking bunkers are those that are gouged out of faces or slopes, particularly, particularly where the slope faces the player. They are very much more effective in that they stand out like sentinels beckoning the player to come on or keep to the right or left." William Flynn
 

Other Renovation/Restoration Projects

The range here can be broad - from an entirely new approach to the design of an existing course to one that seeks to restore a course to its more original form - with many possible "stops" in-between.
