Growing up in a multi-generation golf family, the majority of my life has been spent in and around golf courses. I realized at a young age my passion for golf extended beyond playing and my future was in golf course design. While attending school at Lynn University, I worked and studied under legendary golf course designer, Joe Lee and upon graduation I was fortunate to build my first course, Summer Grove Golf Club, winner of Golf Digest's "Best New Course" Affordable in 2000. 

To further my design career and broaden my experiences, I joined the team at Dye Designs and relocated to Denver, Colorado. Working for Dye Designs, I expanded my drafting skills to include CAD and imaging software. These tools are an effective means to communicate my design vision to clients and construction personnel. The seven years spent living in Denver afforded me with the opportunity to travel the world and work with designers Pete, Perry, Cynthia, Matt & Andy Dye. In the fall of 2007, I formally established Jemsek Golf Design and opened an office in my hometown of Chicago, Illinois where I currently reside with my wife, two children and four-legged intern named Buster.

Since then, I’ve helped large companies, private owners, and investors create value from their golf properties. Jemsek Golf Design has experience with a variety of proven design and construction techniques having participated in nearly 100 projects in 29 countries worldwide.
