DESIGNERS

Golf course architect Davis Love III brings celebrity stature and golf expertise to the Diamante team. Mr. Love has been one of the PGA Tour’s most successful players, having won 20 times in his career including The Players Championship and the PGA Championship. He was also selected as the Ryder Cup Captain for the United States in 2012. Having played great golf courses all over the world, Mr. Love has been exposed to every type of golf course architecture. He is a student of the game and has winning ideas about what makes a course great. Love Golf Design, formed in 1994, is an experienced golf course design team specializing in creating courses that blend naturally with the land. With the announcement of the Dunes Course being ranked #58 in the Top 100 in the World in 2011 by GOLF Magazine, Mr. Love will be the only active player on the PGA Tour who has designed a course to make that very prestigious list.

“My brother Mark and I have visited the world’s most highly regarded golf courses. We’re most intrigued by traditional designs. Modern courses should be designed in the traditional manner, with emphasis on strategy and playability, and where creativity is reflected in the subtleties of design detail. Courses like Cypress Point, Augusta National, and Pinehurst #2—they fascinate. Each reflects design principles that have stood the test of time, principles that we try to incorporate into each project, including the Diamante Dunes course.”
