Gordon G. Lewis - Golf Course Architect

Mr. Lewis on how he got started...

"I started playing golf when I was 8. In junior high school I had a great drafting teacher (Don Salzer) and became enamored with art, architecture and design. Soon after I read a book by Herbert Warren Wind. Right then I knew I was giong to design golf courses...I was hooked."

Mr. Lewis on Golf Course Architecture...

"Our goal is to enhance the natural beauty, minimize construction and maintenance costs and give personal attention to the project. I insist on being involved at all stages of the design process and keep all the planning, such as construction drawings and documents, in-house and personally attend all meetings and on-site inspections. My record of repeat business suggest this plan works.

The perfect course is our ultimate objective with each project. I want to challenge not only the low handicap golfer and Tour professional but allow the beginner an enjoyable and memorable round of golf."
