David Heatwole

Heatwole Golf Design was established in 2002 by American Society of Golf Course Architects member David Heatwole as an extension of his design experience after two and a half decades of designing courses for the legendary golfer and course designer Jack Nicklaus.

While David Heatwole still serves as an independent design consultant for Nicklaus on a few select courses he now enjoys the opportunity to focus his design talents on the restoration and renovation of existing courses as well as to create his own original designs. His vision is to keep his company small in order to maintain a close working relationship with the golf course owner, the contractors, and other project consultants.

You can find examples of Heatwole's American work in several states and he has worked internationally in England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Germany, India, and Indonesia.

“Good course design will challenge golfers of various skill levels while creating an enjoyable and memorable playing experience that inspires the golfer to return time and again. The strategy of the course should challenge the mind and stimulate the senses while remaining sensitive to the natural environment and true to the traditions of the game,” David Heatwole.
