OUR FIRM HISTORY
DAVID
GILL/STEVEN HALBERG LIMITED
was formed in July 1990 to provide quality professional golf course
architectural, landscape architectural, golf course management, and
construction management services. The firm was created with the association
of Steven Halberg and David Gill. Mr. Gill and Mr. Halberg worked together
for several years in a client- consultant relationship on a golf course
managed by Mr. Halberg prior to Mr. Halberg joining Mr. Gill in the formation
of David Gill/Steven Halberg Limited. Until his death in October 1991 David
Gill provided professional golf course architectural and engineering design
services for over forty years, on over 150 golf course projects, including
three courses recognized in the top seventy-five public golf courses by
Golf Digest.
Mr. Halberg,

with Mr. Gill in forming the new company. Mr. Halberg's career includes
serving as Superintendent of Parks and Planning for the Elk Grove Park
District, Elk Grove Village, Illinois, and more recently as Director of
Planning and Development for the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County,
Illinois where responsibilities included general management of the District's
eighteen hole municipal golf course operation.
During his
career with the Forest Preserve District Mr. Halberg worked closely with Mr.
Gill on the master planning of a thirty-six hole golf complex, planning the
remodeling and renovation of an eighteen hole golf facility ,and the design
and planning of the remodeling, renovation, and integration of two eighteen
hole golf courses into a major forty-five hole golf complex.

This
educational and experience background is fundamental in the basic
understanding that golf is a business. The successful golf course and golf
