McDonnell & Cooper
Golf course architecture and masterplanning
Contact

Start a conversation about your course.

Early conversations are often broad. A club may be considering a full masterplan, a targeted review, a member presentation, or a more practical route into implementation.

Do you need a golf course architect?

A short guide to the type of support that may be appropriate, depending on the question your club or project is trying to answer.

Question 1 of 10
01

Are you considering a brand new course, short course or practice facility?

This might include an 18-hole course, short course, par-3 course, academy, public facility or destination golf concept.

Common reasons to get in touch

Where the first conversation often begins.

This section helps a club recognise itself without needing to know the exact service it needs.

01

A long-term course plan

The club needs a clearer framework for future course investment, phasing and decision-making.

02

A specific course issue

A hole, practice area, safety concern, drainage problem, bunker programme or routing question needs careful review.

03

Communication support

The club has ideas or proposals, but needs better plans, visuals or presentation material for committees and members.

What happens next

The first step should feel straightforward.

Not every enquiry needs to become a full proposal immediately. The first exchange is usually about understanding the course, the people involved, the urgency of the issue and whether McDonnell & Cooper is the right fit.
