Our Business Philosophy
Our golf course designs are founded on the principle that golf should be an enjoyable experience at any level. Course
playability and strategy play a big part in that ideal. Equally important are the intangibles that make up that experience.
Proper Course maintenance is a must to insure that conditions are at their best - this is established by understanding how
to build a maintainable living environment. Dave Edsall Golf Design, Inc.
is well versed at implementing the best management practices to allow for ease of maintenance. We work with course Superintendants
to include their ideas into the site design. We work with the leading course builders that experience various site conditions
to insure proper site design. The course plays at its best when conditions are ideal. That is our goal.
Living Environment
Golf courses are a living environment, ever changing and adapting. The site conditions that exist before we step on the
ground represent the canvas the course will take shape on. We want the course to melt into that canvas. Using features such
as natural wetlands, forested areas and existing water features helps make the course appear to grow from existing conditions.
Our course designs enhance the existing terrain. We don't force our ideas onto the ground - we let the exisiting features
shape our course. With a background in civil site design, we understand issues such as drainage, environmental sensitivity,
earth movement.
Constructability and Budgets
Through its design structure, Dave Edsall Golf Design, Inc.
maintains budgeting concerns throughout design and construction. We control costs by accurately making construction decisions
during the design process, where we can control them. Precise design takeoffs are implemented during construction, eliminating
the need for costly change orders and guesswork. Our computer driven designs are implemented during construction by our "Quality
Assurance" construction management phase. Concept Through Construction is not just a catchy
name, it is our means of controling your costs..
