Did you know.....
... that between them Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Arnold Palmer and Robert Trent Jones II have designed around 1,000 completed golf courses worldwide. Equally noteworthy is the fact that just 1 standalone signature course by these famous design firms features on the GOLF Magazine World's Top 100 ranking list ! (Nicklaus’s Cabo del Sol in Mexico)
By contrast there are seven co-designs on the Top 100, where a respected and talented golf architect teamed with a celebrity golfer to collaborate on design. Starting with Dr Alister MacKenzie and Bobby Jones at Augusta National (a true collaboration) through to a number of modern gems by Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw and one-offs like Loch Lomond, Harbour Town and Muirfield Village.
So before simply selecting a celebrity signature designer for your golf course, ask the question – do I want a Nicklaus/Player/Palmer etc course or do I want a great course?
If you want a great course speak with Darius Oliver about how best to achieve this, or to discuss his revolutionary co-design services. Contact darius@ausgolf.com.au or Telephone +61 3 5975 6260
