Architect
3 courses on Course Vaults
Bob Beard's portfolio centers on northeastern Indiana, where he designed courses that serve the Fort Wayne region. His work includes Cedar Creek Golf Course in Leo, a facility that has become a fixture of local golf. In Fort Wayne proper, Beard created both the main Eighteen and a Par 3 course at Lakeside Golf Club, providing varied playing experiences at a single venue.
His designs reflect the practical needs of Midwest public golf—courses built to accommodate steady play while working within the region's topography and climate. The multiple layouts at Lakeside demonstrate Beard's range, from regulation-length challenges to shorter formats suitable for different skill levels and time constraints.
While documentation on Beard's broader career remains limited, the courses linked to his name continue to serve their communities as accessible golf facilities in the Fort Wayne area.
