 The business of golf course architecture has changed considerably over the last decade. Much of the old conventional wisdom has become obsolete. Clients today are much more empowered, more knowledgeable, and more actively involved in their projects. They expect more from their consultants, while desirous to spend less money. There is no one set approach to a design solution. Each client and site has different goals and objectives, and we custom tailor our design services to meet the individual needs of each project. Flexibility and personalized service are the key to a successful project, whether public, resort, or private. Each project site is one of a kind, and presents its distinct set of opportunities and challenges. We always respect the genius loci , the spirit of place, by utilizing existing topography and vegetation to make a course exciting and unique, as opposed to forcing our design signature upon the land. We strive to incorporate as many distinct natural features in the routing of our courses, creating aesthetically spectacular and memorable layouts that will entice golfers to return time and time again. FREELAND GOLF GROUP-designed courses enhance the natural landscape, and appear as if they had been part of their surroundings forever, preserving natural, historic, and environmentally sensitive areas, and creating a new habitat for fauna and flora to flourish. We honor the
traditions of
the game of golf as disciples of the old masters of golf architecture,
the likes of Mackenzie, Tillinghast, and Ross. At the same time, we
seek
innovation through the introduction of new ideas and design concepts,
as
well as the use of the latest design technology, such as Computer Aided
Design and Drafting, Global Positioning System, and 3-D computer
renderings.
Our vision will transform your site into an outstanding golf property.  Computer renderings and CAD are integral parts of our design and production process
Our courses are enjoyable and challenging to players of all skill levels ranging from the professional to the weekend golfer, senior or junior player.
