Ben Crenshaw

Ben Crenshaw, a native Texan, has long been recognized as a golf historian and traditionalist. Since seeing The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts at age sixteen, he has held a fascination with golf architecture.

Competition has taken Crenshaw to many of the world's most renowned golf courses where he has spent considerable time analyzing their design and construction techniques. His is an appreciation of the game's subtleties gained from years of study and the experience of a successful playing career spanning over three decades and 19 P.G.A. Tour victories including the 1984 and 1995 Masters.

His entry into the golf architecture business brought closer a life-long goal of creating quality golf courses in the classical style. Prior to the formation of Coore and Crenshaw, in 1986, Crenshaw served as a player consultant on the design and construction of the TPC Course at Las Colinas in Irving, Texas, the site of the annual Byron Nelson Classic.

Coore and Crenshaw is an architectural firm based upon their shared philosophy that traditional, strategic golf is the most rewarding, and the creation of courses that present this concept with the greatest artistry is the ultimate goal. They have blended their personal experience and admiration for the classical courses of Ross, Mackenzie, Macdonald, Maxwell, and Tillinghast to create a style uniquely their own.
