His courses built for tournaments are hard, but there’s a good reason behind everything. We’ve talked for hours.

To get his opinion has been invaluable.” – Tiger Woods “No other [golf course] designer continues to re-invent his architecture the way Pete Dye does.” – Ron Whitten -Golf Digest “Pete Dye – the most loved, hated, and imitated golf-course architect of the past fifty years.” – PGA Magazine “[Pete Dye’s] self-effacing, aw-shucks approach to the game belies an artistry that reached into golf’s past and made it relevant for the future.

More by accident than design, he proved himself to be a genius.” – Bradley S. Klein – Golfweek “By acclamation, the master of psychological course design among modern golf course architects.” – Tom Doak, Renowned Golf Course Architect
