Architect
21 courses on Course Vaults
Lawrence Hughes was a mid-20th-century American golf course architect whose work concentrated primarily in California, Arizona, and the desert Southwest. Active from the 1950s through the 1970s, Hughes designed courses that adapted to the arid landscapes and resort-oriented development boom of the era. His portfolio reflects the regional expansion of golf during a period when California and Arizona became major destinations for the game.
Among his notable designs are La Quinta Country Club in La Quinta, California, and Paradise Valley Country Club in Paradise Valley, Arizona—both courses that remain well-regarded in their respective communities. Hughes also designed Eldorado Country Club in Indian Wells, Santa Barbara Golf Club, and a variety of resort and municipal layouts including Orange Tree Golf Club in Scottsdale and Hilaman Golf Course in Tallahassee, Florida. His work extended into Mexico with courses at Club de Golf Mexico and La Hacienda Golf Club.
Hughes's designs are characterized by their integration into challenging terrain and their enduring appeal to local memberships and resort guests alike.
