Dick Phelps established a prolific career designing golf courses primarily across the American West and Midwest, with a particular concentration in Colorado and Texas. His portfolio spans public, private, and municipal facilities, demonstrating versatility across various project types and budgets.
Among his higher-regarded designs are Meadow Lake in Montana, Pinnacle Peak Country Club in Scottsdale, and Catta Verdera Country Club in California. Phelps created multiple courses for several properties, including the three-course Firewheel Golf Club complex in Texas and the multi-course West Woods facility in Colorado. His work extends from championship-level tests to accessible municipal layouts like Raccoon Creek and Coal Creek, both serving the Denver metropolitan area.
His geographic reach includes courses in Colorado, Texas, Iowa, Montana, Arizona, North Dakota, New Mexico, Nevada, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Alberta. This breadth reflects a practice focused on regional markets rather than high-profile international commissions, contributing substantially to public golf infrastructure across western North America during his active years.
