Accolades
Award-Winning Designs & Championship Venues
A motivation for producing world class golf courses allows the firm to concentrate on a limited number of global projects and our work has resulted in award-winning designs.
In addition to awards for individual projects, Sir Nick Faldo was named ‘Golf Course Designer of the Year’ at the 2016 World Golf Awards, reflecting the high quality portfolio of golf course designs he has produced in his career to date.
Faldo Design also produces golf courses capable of hosting international championships, as evidenced by the many high profile events staged at our projects, including those on the European Tour, Asian Tour, LPGA Tour, and leading amateur events, such as the World Amateur Team Championships and Faldo Series Grand Final.
