The Creative Process of Remodeling

Over time, golf courses, like other heavily-impacted recreational landscapes, require
alterations to maintain their integrity. Asking the right questions and understanding the
process of a remodeling program can only be acquired by experience. Mike Poellot and
his design team provide the hands-on, close working relationship with each client
supported by the design creativity and technical experience required to facilitate a
successful renovation project.

Mike is typically asked to inspect the existing course layout, meet with representatives
of the course and to advise on the practicality and cost-effectiveness of a remodeling program. Once the decision to proceed is reached, we are then asked to prepare the remodeling plans and to provide site construction observation throughout the
construction process.

1) Our remodeling process involves photographing and then analyzing the existing course layout, hole by hole.
2) Then we present our re-design
concepts and recommendations
to the members for review and
comment. Our ultimate objective
is to retain the historical integrity
of the existing course while
addressing playability, aesthetic
and technical issues.
