The game of golf is played differently today.
The business of golf is managed differently today.
Bobby Weed Golf Design (“BWGD”) is countering this growing complexity by proudly launching a new website. The award-winning golf course design firm – featuring an extensive portfolio of original designs and comprehensive renovations – has crafted a new site that is rich in storytelling and authenticity.
“In an era where branded styles are all too commonplace, BWGD offers clubs a refreshingly different approach,” said golf course designer and builder Bobby Weed. “In the same vein, our new website better showcases the custom-made approach that we offer on every project.”
BWGD looks beyond the 18th hole to consider and influence every aspect of a golf course’s development. The new site provides an in-depth look at Bobby Weed’s acclaimed career in golf course architecture, as well as the many facets of planning, design, construction, and land development.
“We are honored to be an extension of Bobby Weed Golf Design’s continuous growth,” said Nick Leonard, founder and creative director of Fable Heart Media. “This progressive site, paired with modern technology and beautiful imagery, will serve the firm well for years to come.”
About Bobby Weed Golf Design
Bobby Weed Golf Design (BWGD) possesses some of the most innovative minds in golf. Bobby Weed has designed over 50 new courses and comprehensive renovations spanning from the “golden age” of design to the “modern era.” His work features a balance of visual appeal, sustainability, and playability, all informed by an environmentally-sensitive aesthetic and an exceptional hands-on approach.
His professional career began in the 1970s with an extended apprenticeship under Pete Dye, sparking a nearly 40-year friendship with Mr. Dye. Hired in 1983 as the Golf Course Superintendent at TPC Sawgrass, Weed went on to become the PGA TOUR’s first in-house golf course architect. He was responsible for many of today’s best-known TPC venues, which continue as host sites for prominent professional events.
In 1994, Weed’s career reached new heights with the formation of his own design firm. Both his original and renovated courses are consistently ranked at the top of their respective design categories.
BWGD is also a leader in golf course repurposing – a means to update layouts through redesign and reallocation of partial acreage for higher value land uses – which results in successful, refined, and durable golf course designs.
Weed is a member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects. He is also a 42-year member of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, was a former Certified Golf Course Superintendent, and is a member of the Florida Turfgrass Association.
