Philosophy  - Golf Course Design is our passion. Through a strategic and sustainable design philosophy, we create golf courses that are beautiful, fun to play, and inspire the soul. While considered an iconic brand, we pride ourselves on being a small firm with a hands-on approach. We focus our attention and energy on a small number of high quality projects so we can develop meaningful relationships with our clients and tend to the small but important details that make our courses unique and worthy of the Arnold Palmer name.

​

Arnold Palmer Signature Design - Our highest level of service, the Arnold Palmer Signature brand begins and ends with Mr. Palmer. Each course is an original work that is the culmination of over 40 years of experience building golf courses of distinction. While the inspiration and leadership of Arnold Palmer is the genesis of our Signature Service, the “How” we work is what makes it special.

​

Remodeling - At APDC, we are particularly skilled at reinventing the golf experience by focusing on the things that matter. Our overriding goal for any remodel project is to position it for long term success. For a club to compete for new members there must be a noticeable difference in the appearance of the course after the remodel. Variety and strategic interest are also paramount in keeping golfers interested in playing as much as possible. Lowering maintenance costs while maintaining impeccable playing surfaces is also within reach with good architecture. Please take a look at our most recent remodel work to discover the APDC difference.

​

Restoration and Consulting - As students of golf course architecture, we savor the opportunity study the aspects that make each course an original work of art. From time to time we have the distinct privilege of curating the work of another architect. From a national treasure like Pebble Beach Golf Links to storied clubs like Oakmont and Cherry Hills, APDC has faithfully restored the swagger to a number of classic courses.
