2. Morgan Golf Design is pleased to provide you with a sampling of our design work over the past 20
years. Every landscape is unique, existing land contours, trees and other site features should be
integrated into the design. The landscape should be designed so that the maturation process only
enhances the natural beauty of the design.
At Morgan Golf Design we feel strongly about our ability to produce a quality product for our clients
whether the project is golf course design, landscape design, land planning, or a combination of services,
we strive to match each project to the needs of our clients. As golf course designers with over 60 years
of combined experience in the industry, we have provided professional services for the design and
construction of golf courses around the world. Our experience in the golf course design industry has
allowed us to develop expertise in the areas of design, engineering, construction management and
landscape architecture, while gaining a vast knowledge in agronomy and golf course maintenance.
We have been extremely honored to work with PGA Tour players and architects Jack Nicklaus, Jerry
Pate, David Toms, and Hal Sutton. We would be happy to add a "Signature Name" to the project in
conjunction with our design services, if requested.
Thank you for taking the time to review our work and we look forward to meeting with you to discuss
how Morgan Golf Design can make your project , our most important job. After all, our ultimate goal
when becoming associated with a project is to make the people we work for successful.
