“An architect’s earnest hope is, without doubt, that his courses will have the necessary vitality to resist possibly adverse criticism, and will endure as a lasting record of his craft and his love for his work.”

Each issue features news about the latest in golf course architecture, from quick, late-breaking updates to in-depth stories about interesting, innovative projects worldwide.

Publications

ASGCA publishes books, brochures and one-pagers to help inform the golf industry about what golf course architects do, and to provide advice on how to develop new courses, remodel existing layouts and better manage resources.

Most publications are free, and may be downloaded. Printed copies of all publications are also available, and are quick and easy to order.

Industry Providers

The Industry Providers database is a resource visitors can rely on to find out more information regarding ASGCA’s partners & sponsors, golf’s premier Allied Associations, and a number of leading industry suppliers and vendors.

These groups, organizations, and companies are responsible for building, maintaining, and servicing many of the golf courses across the United States and around the world.

ASGCA Insights Podcasts

ASGCA “Insights” features discussions with men and women who are making a positive difference in the golf industry. “Insights” provides perspective and information that details what folks are experiencing today and gives thought to what the future may hold for the game and industry.

Course of the Future

Through a virtual ‘fly-over’ program, ASGCA showcases some of the ways golf courses are being designed and maintained to welcome new players, save costs, increase revenues, integrate new technologies and operate with ‘out of the box’ thinking to benefit everyone.

Remodeling University

Remodeling University is designed for golf course decision-makers who are either currently involved with a course remodeling project or those who are entertaining the possibility of a future golf course remodeling effort. ASGCA planned Remodeling University to provide decision-makers with useful information about budgeting, the planning process and the roles and responsibilities that architects, superintendents, builders, and others will play in a remodeling initiative. Remodeling University sessions also offer insights on permitting, cost estimations, plan preparations and suggestions on how to sell a remodeling project to your membership.

Golf Associations

There are numerous golf associations around the United States. We have listed many of them here for your convenience.
