Dave Edsall Golf Design, Inc. has been fortunate to work on a number of award winning projects. Each project presents the opportunity for us to exceed your visions and expectations.

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..

RENDITIONS 'Golf's Grand Slam Experience'

The Renditions course began as a surface mine operation on the banks of the Patuxent River in Davidsonville, Maryland. After 30 years of mining sand and gravel, reclamation of the land was required by the State of Maryland. With the Maryland Department of the Environment setting the guidelines for the reclamation process, we developed the golf course that ran throughout the environmentally sensitive areas of the mine site, carefully working with the buffers and infusing the protected wetland areas into the plan.
 
The result was a wonderfully crafted golf experience that MDE awarded its annual Reclamation Award to for environmental design.
 
MDE selected the Mardis Reclamation (now Renditions) to the Interstate Mining Compact Commission for consideration in its prestigious annual National Competition. Renditions was awarded IMCC's National Award for reclamation of a surface mine.
 
Together with the land owners, Chaney Enterprises and the golf course builder, Landscapes Unlimited , Dave Edsall Golf Design, Inc. is proud to be a part of these awards. We look forward to working with such distressed sites, and the challenges (and rewards) of infusing natural features into our site design.

TOUR 18 Dallas/Ft Worth

TOUR 18 was an idea founded by Texas developers who wanted something different. They came up with the idea to put 18 holes from famous courses onto one golf experience. Through the use of aerial photography, computer imagining and innovative thinking, this dream was realized. The process was utilized at TOUR 18 Dallas, and recently was cited by GolfWorld magazine as one of the US Top Public Facilities, ranking number 37 in the country.
 
Dave Edsall Golf Design, Inc. continues the tradition of replicating golf holes, and is proud to be the architect of this award-winning development, annually ranking in Texas as one of the top 20 courses in the state.
