OUR DESIGN SENSITIVITY
Demonstrated ability to integrate new and remodeled golf holes into the architecture and character of existing golf course. This is demonstrated by the Oak Grove Golf Course; Brighton Dale Golf Links Addition and Modifications for the Kenosha County Parks Department, the Downers Grove Golf Club Learning Center and Golf Course Modifications Project and the Delbrook Golf Course Expansion and Modifications Project for the City of Delavan, Wisconsin
DAVID GILL/STEVEN HALBERG LIMITED is a full-service golf course architectural design company formed in July 1990. The company may be new, but our heritage runs long and deep. The firm's business philosophy is : "Quality golf course design and quality service to our clients.
The design and golf course architecture philosophy upon which our firm builds its foundation is:
A golf course is for golfers. All golfers. There should be no difference in the Quality of Play for a country club, a municipal, a resort, or a daily fee golf course.
The Quality of Play must be equal for players who can only get the ball out there 150 yards as well as for the player that can hit it 280 yards. It must be equal for the championship ladies as well as the 45 handicappers that Play the game. If they walk like a golfer, talk like a golfer and think like a golfer then they must be a golfer, and the Quality of Play is for them.
The Style of Architecture is integral with the Quality of Play. The golf course design and construction must be sensitive to the environment. Construction techniques and materials have changed significantly in the last 20 to 30 years, yet the fundamentals of the game have remained unchanged for more than 500 hundred years. It is these fundamentals that must drive the Style of Architecture..
Our style of architecture integrates the golf course and the land. This "style" is sometimes considered "traditional". H.S. Colt and C.H. Alison have best described our style of architecture:
"The architect will next proceed to walk over the ground, taking with him a map on which he will note the position of any natural features. In the course of this examination he will record all those sites which Providence has intended mortals to putt on. I have noticed during recent years that mortals have taken very divergent views as to the intentions of Providence in this matter."
