DESIGN METHODOLOGY
OUR APPROACH TO GOLF COURSE DESIGN IS TO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE OWNER AND THE TEAM OF
CONSULTANTS FROM INITIAL CONCEPT THROUGH EACH STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION IN
ORDER TO REACH A COMPATIBLE INTEGRATION OF THE VARIOUS LAND USES INVOLVED. IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT
MEMORABLE GOLF COURSES
EVOLVE FROM THE CHARACTER
OF THEIR SITE, EMERGING FROM,
RATHER THAN BEING IMPOSED
UPON, THE NATURAL ATTRIBUTES
OF THE RAW LAND AND ITS
NATIVE VEGETATION.
PHILOSOPHICALLY,
WE
APPRECIATE STRATEGICALLY
DESIGNED GOLF COURSES OVER
“PENAL” OR PURELY FUNCTIONAL
LAYOUTS. THESE COURSES ARE
ABLE TO PROVIDE A CHALLENGE
TO THE BEST PLAYERS, WHILE NOT
UNFAIRLY PENALIZING THE
AVERAGE OR INDIFFERENT
PLAYER, WHETHER THEY BE MEN,
WOMEN, SENIORS OR JUNIORS,
ALL OF WHOM SUPPORT OUR
INDUSTRY.

WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN PREDETERMINED CONVENTIONS IN GOLF COURSE DESIGN, BUT RATHER, LET THE
EXISTING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LAND BE OUR GUIDE. THIS ORIGINAL APPROACH HAS PROVEN TO BE VERY
COST-EFFECTIVE DURING CONSTRUCTION AND FOR SUBSEQUENT OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE. IDEALLY,
GREAT GOLF COURSES SHOULD NOT ONLY BE REMEMBERED FOR THEIR PLAYING VALUE, BUT ALSO AS
BEAUTIFUL PARKLANDS IN
CONTEXT WITH THEIR
SURROUNDINGS.
WE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED
WITH MANY LARGE,
COMPL EX PROJEC TS,
COLLABORATING WITH A
VARIETY OF MULTID I S C I P L I N E D
CONSULTANTS. BECAUSE
OF THIS, WE HAVE
DEVELOPED A MATURE
AWARENESS OF OUR
P R O F E S S I O N A L
LIMITATIONS, DEFERRING
WORK BEYOND OUR
SCOPE OF GOLF COURSE
DESIGN SERVICES TO THE
APPROPRIATE EXPERTS.

LAND USE PLANNING AND GOLF COURSE PRELIMINARY DESIGN
WE ACHIEVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF EACH OWNER’S PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, WITH
RESPECT TO THE SITE’S INTRINSIC OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS, AS WELL AS ADJACENT LAND USES AND
MARKET TRENDS, ALL OF WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY INFLUENCE THE PROJECT’S SUCCESS.
DURING THIS PHASE, BASE INFORMATION GATHERED THROUGH THE SITE ANALYSIS PROCESS IS ANALYZED AND
INITIAL DESIGN CRITERIA ARE SET. THE NECESSITY, OR
ADVANTAGE TO SUCH THOROUGH ANALYSIS LIES IN THE FACT
THAT THE RESULTS OF THIS PROCESS FORM THE FOUNDATION
UPON WHICH ALL SUBSEQUENT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
DECISIONS WILL BE BASED. THEREFORE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO
REINFORCE EVERYONE’S COMMON GOALS THROUGHOUT THIS
PHASE TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE ALL “ON THE SAME PAGE”
PRIOR TO ADVANCING TO THE NEXT PHASE OF DESIGN.
UNFORTUNATELY, IF INFORMATION IS INCOMPLETE OR
INACCURATE, THE POTENTIAL FOR PROBLEMS IN LATER
PHASES IS MAGNIFIED.

PRODUCES ARE WIDELY CONSIDERED
TO BE SOME OF THE BEST IN THE
INDUSTRY. ONLY WITH THE LEVEL OF
DETAIL AND PRECISION ACHIEVED BY
A PROFESSIONAL SET OF DOCUMENTS
CAN AN OWNER BE ASSURED OF
RECEIVING RESPONSIVE BIDS. THIS
PROCESS ALSO ENABLES BIDDING AND
CONSTRUCTION TO PROCEED IN A
TIMELY MANNER, MINIMIZING THE
NEED FOR DELAYS, CONFLICTS
AND CHANGE ORDERS.

CONSTRUCTION
BY VISITING THE PROJECT AT APPROPRIATE INTERVALS, SCOTT MILLER GOLF DESIGN CAN DETERMINE IF THE
WORK IS PROGRESSING WITH GENERAL CONFORMANCE TO THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND THE DESIGN
INTENT. QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED AND DOCUMENTS CLARIFIED IMMEDIATELY, IDENTIFYING
PROBLEMS EARLY ON MAKING THE PROCESS LESS COSTLY FOR THE OWNER AND CONTRACTOR THAN
CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AFTER THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED. EVEN THE BEST DESIGN DOCUMENTS ARE
NOT A PERFECT PRODUCT. THE PLANS MAY CONTAIN AMBIGUITIES, THE BASE INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY
THE OWNER MAY HAVE ERRORS, ALL REQUIRING INTERPRETATION BY THE DESIGNER DURING
CONSTRUCTION. SCOTT MILLER GOLF DESIGN’S ATTENTION TO DETAIL DURING CONSTRUCTION
OBSERVATION WILL ASSIST THE OWNER IN ACHIEVING THE GOAL OF A TECHNICALLY SOUND AND
NATURALLY APPEARING GOLF COURSE.
