Welcome to FREELAND GOLF GROUP
on the World Wide Web!

FREELAND GOLF GROUP is a dynamic firm specializing in quality golf course architecture and land planning services.  Based in Jacksonville, Florida, our firm's principals have been involved in golf course design and land planning projects in 24 states and 6 countries, and combined experience of 22 years in golf course design and construction.

A great design can do many things; inspire, innovate, or even evoke a particular emotion. Design and planning sets the foundation for all that is to come.  We take great pride in our ability to enhance the natural landscape of any property in a manner that illustrates the beauty of the original surroundings. We conserve the natural environment, highlighting the historic and environmentally sensitive areas, while creating a new habitat for flora and fauna to flourish. We want to design a facility you can be extremely proud of, and one that meets your business objectives.

Based on your particular needs, our team can tailor a unique design program to provide seamless services for your golf course design and land planning needs - all the way from general master planning and initial routing concepts to detailed construction documents!  On projects that include other land uses besides golf, such as resorts or residential developments, the initial master planning work is perhaps the most crucial aspect of all.  A good understanding of how to integrate an excellent golf course into the overall project layout is paramount to ensure the success of all project components.  For that reason, we like to be involved in the master planning process from the beginning, when ever possible. 

At FREELAND GOLF GROUP, we firmly believe that creating a quality golf course is not simply an end goal, but a series of important choices made throughout the design process. Let our expertise lead your project to success by making the right choices!
