“The ideal hole is surely one that affords the greatest pleasure to the greatest number, gives the fullest advantage for accurate play, stimulates players to improve their game, and never becomes monotonous.” - Dr. Alister MacKenzie

       

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

     

The Royal and Ancient Game of Golf has evolved, over the centuries, to become a truly international game. With it’s beginnings on the undulating links land of Scotland, under the ravages of the wind and rain of the North Sea, the original golf courses were as natural as the expanses of sand and gorse that surrounded them. Nature created these courses and Man simply discovered them.

As golf grew in popularity, the Game was exported from its’ seaside origins. Man became the designer of these new courses, often modifying terrain to accommodate the elements of the game. The creation of golf courses grew in complexity as golf was introduced to varied climates and more challenging landforms. The incorporation of golf into master-planned communities, and the advent of environmental regulation further challenged golf designers. Today’s golf course architect must possess an ever increasing breadth of skills and expertise in the diverse fields of science, engineering, agronomy, hydrology, land planning, landscape architecture, and land entitlement/permitting processes.

Brian Costello, Mark Hollinger and Bob Moore believe that great golf design is Art on a Grand Scale. Golf can be made to satisfy the requirements imposed by development and regulators, however truly great golf design requires the hand of an Artist. Just as an Artist uses color, light, and composition in a creative effort, JMP Golf Design Group balance the basic elements and strategies of the game, the unique opportunities and physical constraints of a particular site, the vision of the Client, the needs and abilities of a broad spectrum of golfers, respect for the natural environment, and the integration of the surrounding land uses. The Principals of JMP are commited to the Art of creating truly memorable golf courses and to the success of every project undertaken.
“Every golfer worthy of the name should have some acquaintance with the principles of golf course design,
not only for the betterment of the game, but for his own selfish enjoyment....When he has taught himself to study a hole from the point of view of the man who laid it out, he will be much more likely to play it correctly.” - Bobby Jones
