Many times since 1972, the principals of Landmark Golf have
joined with Pete Dye to design and construct 17 exceptional world-class
golf courses in the United States. Landmark has a working agreement
to design and construct future golf courses for select clients using
Pete Dye as the designer.
For other extraordinary golf course design, Landmark Golf
joined: Fred Couples to design The Plantation Golf Club, a private
golf club in Indio, California; Schmidt-Curley Design, Inc. to design
Landmark Golf Club, a championship 36 hole daily fee facility in
Indio, California; Gil Morgan and Schmidt-Curley Design, Inc. to
design 18 championship holes for Oak Quarry Golf Club, in Riverside,
California.
Additionally, the Landmark Team has worked with and coordinated
efforts with numerous famed golf course designers such as Arnold
Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Weiskopf, Gary Player, Casey O’Callahan
and Clive Clark. Johnny Pott and Wade Cable, President William Lyon
Homes are the designers-of-record for The Golf Club of California
in Fallbrook, California. Recently, Johnny Pott served as “grow-in
consultant” for William Lyon Homes’ The Ranch Golf Club
in San Jose, California and for the City of La Quinta’s Arnold
Palmer Classic Course at SilverRock Resort, a future home of the
Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.
Landmark continually researches the latest in technology and uses
state-of-the-art methods for managing chemicals and delicate/hardy
grasses in regional climates. Landmark Golf’s respect
for the environment is evidenced by their
dedication to preserving the natural surroundings while working
in harmony with
nature and the land.
Johnny Pott, Senior Vice President and Principal of Landmark Golf, golf course designer, five-time PGA Tour champion, Champions
Senior PGA Tour contestant and most notable accomplishment as three-time
United States Ryder Cup Matches team member says the primary ingredients
of a great golf course are:
Setting with landforms and vistas
that allow the golf course designer/architect to create a "theme"
for the golf course.
Shot Value is the coveted result
of a designer/architect creating golf holes that reward the golfer
for placing the golf ball on the target "spots of choice,"
shot after shot, hole after hole.
Mental Replay for each hole is
the desired product of every golf course designer with myriad visual
variations so that the golfer can recall each and every hole long
after the round.
