Our Approach
Thousands of "great designs" are set down on paper every year, all over the world - the lofty dreams of artists, architects, owners and golfers. Only a few become reality.

For Nelson & Haworth, each project is unique and presents new challenges, opportunities and solutions. Our experience has taught us that golf course design is a "site-specific" discipline. Subtle nuances of the site take time to reveal themselves. Often, exciting possibilities and alternatives present themselves during the design and construction process: Our approach allows us to incorporate these unique opportunities into the design process. Our flexibility, sensitivity, and responsiveness to both site revelations and client suggestions, enhances our continuing quest to produce the world's finest golf courses.

What transforms a great design vision into a great golf course is our commitment to bring our experience to the site as often as possible. Critical to the process is communication between owner, architect and construction supervisors: it is paramount to our approach and to the successes of our many projects.

A Nelson & Haworth golf course is an evolution of ideas, communication, skill, and experience.
