Planning Philosophy

Keith Preston has an unmistakeable design philosophy which connects classical tradition with modern technology. At 16 he was a Scratch player, at 19 he has become a pro and at 23 he has co-planned his first golf course.

He began playing golf at the age of 6 years.
" I had the luck to play during my youth primarily on 2 Alistair Mackenzie Golf courses. Since then I am an admirer of classical golf architecture."

Apart from Mackenzie he gets his inspiration from classical courses and architects such as James Braid, Willie Park, H.S. Colt, Tom Simpson and W. H. Fowler.
"Like my role models I believe in a so-called hand-on method to plan and build golf courses. Our courses are planned down to the last detail but only if a planner spends a lot of time in the area, and becomes heart and soul with his design and the area, is a really great golf course possible."

Our understanding and appreciation of the origins of golf, the theory and psychology of the game and its changing requirements has successfully led the firm to the forefront of golf course design on the European scene.

„Our goal ist to fulfil a need in the golf industry for top quality, cost conscious and environmentally sympathetic golf course development.“
