Brad Benz has established a diverse portfolio spanning municipal and resort golf across the United States and select international projects. His work reflects an adaptability to varied terrain and climates, from the desert landscapes of Arizona to the plains of the Upper Midwest.
Among his notable designs are the three courses at Gainey Ranch Golf Club in Scottsdale—the Arroyo, Lakes, and Dunes—which showcase different strategic approaches within a single resort property. His portfolio also includes the Fred Arbanas Golf Club at Longview Lake in Kansas City and The Meadows Golf Club near Denver, both well-regarded regional facilities. Benz's reach extends internationally with La Zagaleta in Spain's Andalucía region.
His work encompasses championship-caliber layouts, accessible public courses like Prairiewood in Fargo, and specialized designs including the executive course at Wildcreek Golf Club in Nevada. Projects span from California's foothills at Castle Oaks to Montana's Briarwood Golf Course, demonstrating a geographic range that speaks to his experience across different settings and markets.
