“Mandell’s work turned an already well-kept layout into a stunning test of golf, one Ross first envisioned. RCC’s range has been replaced by the best driving range in NC.”
- David Droschak, Triangle Golf Today
The business of golf course architecture is much more than just creating great golf holes. Creativity and inspired design must be tempered with the practicalities of an operation, whether that operation is a private country club, a resort or public course, a municipal facility or a practice center. Without proper evaluation of not only the site and the necessities of golf course design but also the client's wishes and needs, even the best design ideas will be considered failures.
Richard Mandell Golf Architecture recognizes the practical needs of not just the owner, but the operations staff, maintenance staff and the sales office as well. RMGA's design theory is based upon the facts that great design need not be costly or appear contrived, utilizes the land to its fullest possibilities, must be cost-effective, and shall be steeped in practicality resulting in sound business decisions for the client.
