Raymond Floyd. “When it comes to golf course development, I'm a big believer in the team approach. The goal of producing golf courses that are enjoyable, challenging, and distinctive requires input from a variety of professionals and no one person has all of the right ideas. I see myself as an integral part of the design team and I like to get input from the client, my associates, Landscape Architects, and Engineers.”
Raymond Loran Floyd (born September 4, 1942) is an American retired golfer who won numerous tournaments on both the PGA Tour and Senior PGA Tour, including four majors and three senior majors. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1989.
Throughout his playing career, Floyd studied the great golf courses of the world and his extensive travels, masterful shot-making and superior strategic skills provide him with a voluminous knowledge of the qualities that make great golf courses. Raymond draws on these experiences to create golf courses with all the benefits of modern golf course architecture but with a focus on traditional philosophies.
The result of his design ethos, are golf courses that appeal to all who play them. Whether one prefers older, more traditional golf courses or newer, more innovative designs, a Raymond Floyd-designed golf course uses elements of both philosophies in crafting truly unique and original designs.
