Forrest Richardson Golf Course Architects 2337 East Orangewood Avenue The Mountain House Phoenix Arizona 85020 USA Contact: Forrest Richardson Tel: +1 602 509 4655 forrest@forrestrichardsongolf.com www.forrestrichardsongolf.com Forrest Richardson is a golf course architect with a passion. The game was meant to be fun. Scoring success, creative design and innovative thinking are at the forefront of every assignment – along with the absolute goal for sustainability. In the US, the firm’s work spans across the country with an emphasis in water conservation. International work has included projects in Mexico, Central America, Canada, Sweden, India and Asiatic Russia. Richardson’s philosophy is to create an overall golf experience – one grounded in tradition, enjoyment and suitability to the surroundings. His belief is that a golf course should adapt to each site. The needs of the owner, the membership and customers who will ultimately play the course are always paramount considerations. His designs embrace the natural terrain, yet his work has never shied away from creating exciting designs where decent terrain was not to be found. The firm has completed projects for resorts, daily-fee golf developers, private clubs and municipalities. The overriding approach is to create courses enjoyable to play, exciting to promote, and affordable for the longterm. The firm’s work has been honoured by Golf Digest, Golf Magazine, GolfWeek and Golf Inc. Magazine. In 2021 Forrest served as president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA), encouraging his fellow golf architects to begin embracing smaller footprints, less traditional courses and to ‘think outside of the box’ when it comes to shaping the game.
