The best architects you've never heard of

(1/9) > >>

Philippe Binette:
Architects that the general public hasn't heard of

or

Architects that the general publics and GCA.com is not talking much about.


Ask most golfers to name all the contemporary architects they know and you'll most likely hear:
Tiger Woods
Greg Norman
Rees Jones
Tom Fazio might be a stretch
Pete Dye
and of course Donald Trump ;D

I doubt the list would start by: Tom Doak, Gil hanse and Mike DeVries

Phil McDade:

Brad Butzke:
Guess it depends on how obscure you're thinking..

Ray Hearn really surprised me at Yarrow. Works mostly in the midwest (primarily Michigan), but has courses on the East Coast and Internationally.
