Does your course need a facelift?

Our commitment to enhancing the golf experience at any level is unsurpassed in the industry. From high-end private country clubs to municipally run public golf courses, each project presents the opportunity to showcase our talents.

Dave Edsall Golf Design, Inc. understands the components that make golf courses enjoyable, affordable and environmentally sound. With strong backgrounds in civil engineering, environmental sensitivity and golf strategy, we strive to make each project reflect the visions of the developer while maintaining solid design and construction practices. This combination continues to be the backbone of Dave Edsall Golf Design, Inc.

Our history in the renovation industry includes many of golf’s finest courses. Pine Forest Country Club and Galveston Country Club, both in Texas serve as notable examples. Dave Edsall Golf Design, Inc. was called on to make strategic and drainage renovations to both of these courses, providing the memberships with an enhanced golf experience.

Dave Edsall addressed the first annual Country Club Show in Las Vegas regarding the implementation of adding length to holes without simply adding distance, a measure found to be accommodating to the industry. Through strategic effects, lengthening holes can be achieved without simply moving tees back, or adding yardage. This innovation saves money and keeps original design intentions intact.

The playable conditions of a course are equally as important as the strategic functions. Dave Edsall Golf Design, Inc. expertise will dramatically improve playability features that include proper and innovative drainage solutions, environmentally sensitive best management practices, and a maintenance friendly final product.

Dave Edsall Golf Design, Inc. welcomes the opportunity to meet with you and discuss your enhancement strategies.

Our renovation process begins
with a 'Strategy Plan' which takes
shape as we walk the course, making
specific notations of problem areas,
desired looks and strategy uprgrades.
The Strategy Plan includes costs
estimates and infuses budgetary
controls into the process. Greens
Committees as well as the Course
Superintendant are consulted so
we can provide the course with
the best possible renovation, taking
care of the needed upgrades, at a
budget level, and produce results
that always exceed expectations.
