couple bates golf design

The Bates Golf Design Group has a fine reputation for integrity, excellence and quality of design. They have a staff of professionals with outstanding expertise in design and overseeing the development of courses worldwide. Their design services include private clubs, resorts, daily fee courses and renovations.

With extensive background in golf course construction, contractors respect their advice and clearly understand their directions. They are team members during the entire process of creating the golf course. They can be the team leaders when necessary and supportive when part of the team. Preserving the reality of the owner's dreams and integrity of the original design is of paramount importance to The Bates Golf Design Group. Each course is considered a partnership, a relationship made to last for years.

This team approach includes land planners, environmental and civil engineers, as well as agronomists and superintendents. The relationship is the key to a successful project.


A few words from our course co-designer Gene Bates…


"Heron Ridge Golf Club was designed to be an enjoyable and playable golf course. This Fred Couples quote was our guiding light while creating the course. 'If we make Heron Ridge too hard to play and not fun, we all lose; we as designers, the golfers who play the course and the owners. We cannot do that to them, nor can we do that to ourselves.

Heron Ridge is just one of a few courses which Fred Couples and I will design during our collective architectural careers. Our philosophy is; we will design and build a few outstanding golf courses, not several average courses."
