Designing a new golf course is one of the most rewarding and complex challenges in landscape architecture. It’s a creative journey where topography, ecology, recreation, and identity come together to form a lasting place. At RE Landscape, we specialize in developing golf courses that are not only beautiful to behold, but also deeply enjoyable to play and environmentally responsible to maintain. Whether it’s your first course or your fifteenth, our collaborative, design-first process ensures every element is aligned with your long-term goals.

Great golf course design starts with vision, an idea of what the course should represent, how it should feel, and who it will serve. Whether you envision a championship-level course, a community-driven layout, or a sustainable nine-hole facility, we help articulate and shape that vision into something buildable, lasting, and inspiring. Every site has its own story, and every successful golf course begins by listening to the land.

From master planning to final grassing, we treat designing golf courses as a collaborative journey. We work closely with clients, stakeholders, and leading golf course architects to create a concept rooted in both design excellence and practical feasibility. Each new golf course begins with a comprehensive site analysis, where we evaluate terrain, soil composition, water availability, views, and ecological context.

Together with your team, we develop routing plans and hole sequences that harmonize with the natural setting. The RE Landscape team brings in-depth experience in engineering, landscape design, environmental strategy, and construction coordination, ensuring a seamless connection between vision and implementation.

Our process typically involves:

• Site feasibility studies

• Land use and ecological assessments

• Routing and layout development with respected golf course architects

• Grading, hydrology, and playability planning

• Clubhouse and amenity integration

• Sustainability analysis and permitting guidance

• Visualization, 3D modeling, and presentation documents

We believe that excellent golf course architecture is never a one-size-fits-all formula. Each course should reflect its unique place, purpose, and players, while offering a memorable experience that draws people back, round after round.

One of the defining traits of modern golfcourse design is the balance between ecological value and player experience. At RE Landscape, we design with biodiversity in mind from the start. Our new golf courses are envisioned not just as sport venues, but also as ecological systems, spaces that support native wildlife, water management, and landscape resilience.

We integrate features such as:

• Native grasslands and pollinator meadows

• Wetlands and buffer zones to improve water quality

• Wildlife corridors and low-mow roughs

• Rain gardens and bio-swales for stormwater retention

• Sustainable turfgrass selection and reduced-input zones

As climate shifts and resource use becomes more scrutinized, these ecological considerations are no longer optional—they are essential to future-ready golf course design. And when done well, they enhance not only the environmental value of the site but also its visual character and playability.

Whether we’re designing a stand-alone 18-hole course or a multi-use landscape that includes golf, walking trails, and nature conservation, our approach reflects a deep respect for land, leisure, and long-term stewardship.
