My Philosophy and Experience

We create golf courses that stand the test of time.

Harrison brings 40+ years of experience designing golf courses and has helped design and construct over 140 courses. Working alongside legends like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Ed Seay, he developed his own unique design strategy that emulates the timeless character, strategy, and principals of the Golden Age of Golf.

Arnold Palmer

King of Golf

Arnold Palmer, the original World Golf Ambassador and his golf architect Ed Seay had the most impact on my career and my design philosophy. They both allowed me to direct and be involved with well over 100 golf course designs.

Fred Funk is a veteran of the PGA Tour with 29 professional victories. A lifetime student of golf course architecture while playing hundreds of tournaments rounds, he brought an opportunity to for us to collaborate on the design of RainDance National Golf Club along the front range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

We take a team approach when working with developers. The client’s vision and needs are specifically defined to develop a design program that strives to meet your every wish. We work with your planners, engineers, architects, environmentalists and contractors to create a golf course that is unique, infinitely enjoyable to play and has a rhythm from one group of holes to the next.

Design Philosophy

During my 27 years of designing nearly 100 golf courses for Arnold Palmer, known worldwide as the ‘King of Golf’, he instilled in me the philosophy “to design courses that are beautiful, exciting to play, and offer a significant challenge for the professional golfer while still being enjoyable for all amateur golfers.”

 

Over the course of my career I have developed my own philosophy. Having played golf for over 40 years, on hundreds of golf courses, with thousands of people of different backgrounds and nationalities, I have come to believe that a golf course is meant to be exciting and fun to play.
