Raymond Hearn Golf Design

Raymond Hearn | Published on 5/14/2024

While each course is distinctly different, one of the many reasons clubs trust Raymond Hearn Golf Course Designs as one of the top golf course design firms is their “lay of the land” approach honoring the game as it was meant to be played.  That core tenet, coupled with cutting-edge design innovation has helped us excel at golf course remodeling, renovation, restoration, and new course development throughout North America and around the world. Our innovative, creative designs drive new memberships at private clubs and increased revenues for resorts and daily-fee operations. Our clients’ profitability is further served by our design principles; which are both traditional and progressive; using a minimalist approach that is deferential to the landscape – like all the game’s most celebrated courses. Our designs combine beauty and strategy to create courses that are memorable for all to enjoy. 

We serve public, private, resort and municipal clubs.
