World-Class Golf Course Design & Architecture
Strategic golf course architecture, master planning, and design for private clubs, resorts, and developers.

A Thoughtful Approach to Golf Course Architecture
Welcome to Swanson Golf Design. Led by Matt Swanson, our work spans more than 25 golf courses across North and South America, Africa, and Asia.
From award-winning championship venues in Asia to thoughtfully crafted courses in South Florida, our designs balance strategic challenge with the natural character of the land. Every routing is considered, every contour intentional, and every detail shaped to enhance both playability and experience.
We believe great golf courses tell a story — one that unfolds over time, respects its surroundings, and rewards players at every level.

World Class Masterplanning
Combining all the factors together to provide golfers with a course that delights while at the same time provides sufficient challenge. This can only be achieved by concise masterplans, which allow developers, contractors, and designers to clearly understand the vision, layout, and construction of a course.
