55 courses on Course Vaults

Denis Griffiths built a prolific portfolio of golf courses across the United States, with a particularly strong concentration in Georgia and Colorado. His work ranges from upscale private clubs to accessible public facilities, demonstrating versatility across diverse terrain and clientele. Among his higher-profile projects are The Georgia Club near Athens—where multiple 18-hole combinations showcase his ability to craft variety within a single property—and the trio of courses at Pole Creek Golf Club in the Colorado Rockies, which take advantage of dramatic mountain settings.

Griffiths also designed Presidents Reserve at Hermitage Golf Course in Tennessee, the Mill and School nines at Chicopee Woods in Gainesville, Georgia, and Crystal Lake Golf and Country Club south of Atlanta. His reach extended internationally, with several courses in Thailand including layouts at Phoenix Golf & Country Club and Thai Country Club. Whether working on resort destinations, daily-fee layouts, or championship-caliber private clubs, Griffiths consistently delivered courses that balance playability with strategic interest, earning him a respected place among American golf course architects of his generation.
