Commonly Asked Questions.
What makes LarsenGolf different from other golf course architects?
Erik Larsen brings something most golf course design firms can't, four decades of hands-on experience, including his tenure as Executive Vice President of Arnold Palmer Design Company, combined with the agility of an independent practice. LarsenGolf understands not just how to design a beautiful course, but how a course operates as a business, generates revenue, and serves its surrounding community. That combination of legacy expertise and modern, practical thinking is rare in golf course architecture.
What kinds of projects does LarsenGolf take on?
LarsenGolf handles the full spectrum of golf course architecture from new construction, full-scale renovations, short courses, land and master planning, drainage and infrastructure consulting, and golf community revitalization.
What does the design process look like?
LarsenGolf provides end-to-end golf course architecture support, from initial land and master planning through design, construction oversight, and long-term consulting. Every project starts with a clear understanding of the site's unique characteristics, the community's vision, and the financial realities.
How do you design for a community, not just golfers?
LarsenGolf treats every golf course as a potential community catalyst. That means integrating the course with surrounding land use, recreational amenities, and social infrastructure, not just optimizing for playing conditions. The goal is a course that increases surrounding property values, stimulates local economic activity, supports events and tourism, and provides accessible recreation for all ages.
