Bruce Borland

Bruce Borland (November 4, 1958 – October 25, 1999) was an American golf course designer who worked for Jack Nicklaus. He died in a tragic plane crash in South Dakota on October 25, 1999, while traveling with the golf Hall of Famer Payne Stewart. Borland was elected into the American Society of Golf Course Architects in 1986 as an Associate member and as a Regular member in 1989. He remained an ASGCA member for 13 years. 

Bruce Borland was raised in the Peoria, Illinois, area. He took a fascination with golf at an early age, building and maintaining a putting green in his parents' backyard, tending to it meticulously. Borland went on to graduate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with a degree in Landscape Architecture. 

After graduation, he moved to the Chicago area and began designing golf courses for several firms before opening his own design firm, ProDesign, in 1989. Just a year later he was offered a design position with Jack Nicklaus at Golden Bear International. Borland worked on many of the famous Jack Nicklaus "Signature" golf courses, as well as other American and international courses.
