Greg Norman Golf Course Design
As a touring professional, Greg Norman was one of the most prolific international players in the games history. He is
undoubtedly one of the best-known and respected sporting personalities
in the world.
With unparalleled charisma and energy, Greg won
more than 90 tournaments, and claims the unique distinction of having
held the No. 1 position on the world rankings for 331 weeks. In
recognition of his accomplishments both on and off the golf course, Greg
was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2001. Norman's
experience in playing many of the world's great golf courses over the
span of his professional career served as a catalyst to develop his
interest in golf course design.
Greg Norman Golf Course Design
was first established in 1987. Now headquartered in West Palm Beach,
Florida, with a satellite office in Beijing, China, Greg Norman Golf
Course Design has completed more than 75 golf courses on six continents,
with an additional 37 projects in various stages of development.
Norman
has long been recognized for his environmentally sensitive designs.
During the design, pre-construction and construction support services,
Norman always adheres to a “least disturbance” approach, focusing on
every opportunity to incorporate unique existing site features into the
layout of the golf course. This environmentally sensitive mentality led
to his appointment as Chairman of the Environmental Institute for
Golf’s Advisory Council and various environmental achievements earned by
his courses. In addition to these environmental achievements, Norman
designed golf courses have garnered numerous prestigious awards and
hosted sanctioned events on the PGA, Nationwide, European, and
Australasian Tours.
