To all I have played a descent amount of them. I am a young inspiring to be golf course architect. My top 20 was of course derived from architects I feel do fantastic design work, courses I enjoyed my round of golf on, architects I have heavily studied, and architects that I have kept in contact with. Who have taken time out of their busy schedules to answer all my questions, call me back or even schedule lunch/interview with me, or a round of golf. I also left one architect out of my top 20 who does great design work, is heavily involved in the design process and the construction process: Mike Devries. Take care all, if any of you have any great Golf Course Architecture readings for me, let me know.
