Golf Course Architecture

This golf course architecture print maps 160 years of course design, from the Old Course at St. Andrews to influential modern courses in the U.S., U.K., and Europe. The chart includes more than 100 leading golf course architects and over 300 prominent courses.

Architects are organized by geography, design philosophy, and major design movements, showing how ideas about routing, hazards, strategy, landscape, and course construction developed over time.

Seven hand-drawn hole illustrations mark key shifts in golf course design, providing a visual reference for the changing styles and architectural ideas represented in the timeline.

The chart was designed in 2013 and reflects golf course architecture history through that date.
