The company values teamwork, where the exchange of knowledge and expertise help exceed even the highest of ambitions. When designing golf courses, the duo allows the land to dictate the layout and that they shouldn’t move mountains in order to create. “We believe that each site is unique and should be approached so that the use of the natural topography and native vegetation helps the course exist in harmony with its surroundings,” says Spogàrd. The design firm incorporates new technology to help then create golf courses that look as established as the best from the past and that their product is of great value to them, golfers and the clients. “We believe words like ‘environmentally sustainable’ and ‘natural’ have an honest meaning beyond marketing,” says Spogàrd.
