It belatedly came to the attention of the Minnesota GCA group, during the “Top 30” discussions, that Rich Mandell had won the Golf Course Architect of the Year award for 2017 from The BoardRoom Magazine.
Everyone in Minnesota, so fat* as I’ve heard, has applauded his renovation work at Keller Golf Course (Maplewood, Minnesota; county-owned). We are all looking forward to seeing his total redesign of Braemar Golf Course (Edina, Minnesota; city-owned) when the work on the ground is complete.
The full list of The BoardRoom Magazine awards is here:
