A special edition of the American Society of Golf Course Architects’ (ASGCA) By Design magazine, focusing on the seventh annual ASGCA Design Excellence Recognition Program, is now available.

The 11 projects profiled in By Design, which is put together by the same team that is responsible for Golf Course Architecture, highlight the innovation and problem-solving skills required for today’s golf course designs.

Architects featured in this issue include Doug Carrick, Greg Martin, Todd Schoeder, Todd Clark and Rick Jacobson and more.

Among this year’s recognised projects are Fry/Straka’s new South course at Arcadia Bluffs, Michigan, Forrest Richardson’s Baylands Golf Links in California, and Richard Mandell’s new design for Braemar golf course in Minnesota.
