DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Greg Norman Golf Course Design adopts a design methodology, and in doing so, creates a design philosophy and character that is unique to each project. This process incorporates:

•	An intimate knowledge of the site characteristics.
•	An understanding of the developers objectives.
•	A minimalist and least disturbance approach.
•	A design that is challenging, playable and creates a memorable golf experience for players of all skill levels.
•	An environmentally sensitive and sustainable design.
•	The end vision in mind.

In applying this methodology, a design concept is created for each project that establishes individual character with an emphasis on aesthetics and playability.Historically, this approach has resulted in a course that blends seamlessly with its surroundings and appears as if it has been part of the landscape for generations.

 

GREG NORMAN

Golf course design is one of my true passions in business and life. Each project presents me with the opportunity to work with the design client to create a course with its own unique character.

Since first establishing my design business more than 20 years ago, I have been fortunate to work on a myriad of different projects that now span across six continents. Be it the sensitive wetlands of Florida, desert-scapes of the Middle East or the extreme topography of Asia, my design team and I have worked in concert with the development team to create golf courses that blend with their surrounding environment and enhance the property's natural features. Each course is designed to be constructed efficiently and environmentally sound while providing both a playable and memorable experience for golfers of all levels.

Because each design bears my name, I personally make it my mission to get involved with every step of the golf course design process, from walking the virgin site, to planning and construction, to opening day.

I take seriously the legacy we create in designing and developing each golf course. It is this shared responsibility and process of building a relationship with the design client that gives me particular satisfaction in creating golf courses that withstand the test of time.
