Bobby Weed

Robert C. Weed, Jr. (born April 13, 1955), president of Bobby Weed Golf Design, is a golf course designer and builder specializing in design, renovation, and repurposing. Weed's professional career began with an apprenticeship under Pete Dye in the late 1970s, a relationship that produced a number of notable courses and has stretched for over 35 years and continues today. This relationship instilled in Bobby a set of foundational values about building great golf courses in the field - the kind of compelling layouts that stir the soul and sustain the environment. 

In 1983, Weed was hired by the PGA Tour, where he advanced to become the in-house architect in 1987. From that post, Weed was responsible for the design of many of today's best-known TPC venues, which continue to serve as host sites for prominent Tour events. Weed was also able to collaborate with a cross-section of noted Tour players from the golden age to the modern era, including Sam Snead, Gene Sarazen, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Raymond Floyd, and Chi Chi Rodriguez. 

In 1994, Weed's career and experience reached a crescendo with the formation of his own design firm. Today, over 20 years and 50 projects later, he continues to handcraft golf courses, just as Dye first taught him. Weed is a member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects, the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, and the Florida Turfgrass Association.
