Golfscape Design International is a specialized division of GCH, providing a full range of landscape architectural services for golf course developments. From developing the initial design concept to preparing construction drawings, the firm’s professional staff works with each client to create a distinctive and cost efficient landscape environment for the project, including but not limited to: new and remedial course landscaping, entry features and roadways, clubhouse, and residential landscaping, putting courses, water features, course furnishings, signage, landscape lighting and irrigation. Other services include field supervision of landscape installation, plant procurement, and preparation of landscape maintenance reports, as-built documents, and technical specifications.

The company’s professional staff have been involved in over 350 golf course landscape projects around the World. Through many years of international experience we have developed close working relationships with such noted golf course architects as Gary Player Design, Nicklaus Design, Palmer Course Design, Robert Trent Jones II, Tom Weiskopf, Nelson & Haworth, and many others.

Golf course landscaping is a specialized field that requires thorough understanding of the game of golf. GCH‘s philosophy is to create environmentally responsible landscapes based on the developer’s goals, the golf course architect’s design intentions, and the natural site conditions. Our landscapes are designed with four goals in mind: to enhance the intended play of the course, provide the highest quality aesthetics, respect the environment, and assure low maintenance costs.

In addition to golf-related developments, GCH also provides landscape architecture, land planning, & sustainable design services on an extensive variety of hospitality, community, and civic projects in over 30 countries worldwide. Beginning with the basic premise that developments tread lightly on their surroundings, each project and region is intensely researched as part of the site planning and design process. Historical, cultural, archeological, botanical, geological, and climate factors are exhaustively researched along with local flora and fauna to ensure that what makes the area so special is preserved or integrated into the development.
