Greg Nash, ASGCA, was a son of Kansas, but as a young man made Arizona his home. With a degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Arizona he began a career that came to be remembered for his relentless attention to detail, an intimate understanding of the development process, and a knowledge of environmental regulations, which helped mold him into a respected, successful architect.

A native of Hays, Kansas, and resident of Anthem, Arizona, Nash built his own firm, Greg Nash Design, on the foundation of creating beautiful, playable golf courses that provided fun, fair challenges to players of all abilities while blending seamlessly with their natural surroundings. After completion of a golf course, Greg Nash Design continued to work with its clients as consultants, helping them set up cost–effective and environmentally sensitive maintenance programs. These programs included the use of sophisticated irrigation systems, climatically suitable turf grasses, ground covers, and trees.
