Over the last 20 to 30 years  most golf course developments around the country and the world thought that they had  to have a “ MARQUEE ” Tour Professional associated with the design of the course. This mindset required the owners of these new courses to provide big budgets to accommodate the Marquee Tour Professsional. The fact is for every “marquee”  tour pro you have to also retain in most situations a real golf course designer.  Most tour pros only bring two facets to the design process. One is understanding shot values as a player and  the second is name recognition for marketing purposes.  Designing a golf course involves many more disciplines such as, master planning, grading, drawing construction documents, drainage, irrigation, agronomics, safety corridor guidelines, environmental conditions, cost analysis, grow-in, etc. That is where a company like Steve Timm Design comes in. Steve Timm Design is a full service design firm that can provide all of these essential items. In fact as an accomplished  former golf professional Steve understands shot values in addition to all the other disciplines. In other words Steve Timm Design can provide all the necessary facets to design any course. Should your  development need to enlist a tour pro Steve is more than willing to provide his services with any tour professional. Steve’s long time design associate Bob Cupp, has worked with many tour pros in this same manner.
