WELCOME RICHARD HUMPHREYS As regular subscribers have come to expect, the January issue of Golf Course Architecture is accompanied by GCA Green Pages, our guide to the businesses that can help golf clubs and developers to plan and execute new golf course projects. In this 2025 edition, we have more than 70 organisations listed in our supplier directory and, before that, a series of articles that highlight some of the work that several of these have completed over recent years. We profile projects in at Royal County Down in Northern Ireland, Terras da Comporta in Portugal, Baltusrol in New Jersey, La Grande Mare on the island of Guernsey and The Country Club of Florida. These stories underline how important it is for golf clubs and developers getting the right people in, at the right time. Identifying a suitable architect, contractor, irrigation firm, bunker specialist and/or other experts can be the secret to a project’s success, and has arguably become more difficult in recent years as golf development market has grown and good suppliers are in high demand. The supplier directory section of GCA Green Pages – available here in print and online at www.golfcoursearchitecture.net/greenpages – is designed to help you identify businesses that could be right for your project, and provide everything you need to establish contact with them. A list of suppliers organised by the type of service they offer begins on page 23, and is followed by an alphabetical section of full company descriptions and contact details, beginning on page 27. I hope you find this guide an informative and valuable resource, and wish you all the best for your golf projects in 2025 and beyond. Secret to success 1
