Frank Duane

Frank Duane built a diverse portfolio of golf courses spanning from the Northeast to the Southeast and Florida. His work demonstrates a solid command of site planning and strategic design, with particular strength in creating multi-course complexes that offer varied playing experiences.

His signature achievement is likely Sea Pines Country Club on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, which stands as his highest-rated design in Course Vaults. In the Northeast, Duane shaped several well-regarded courses including Montammy Golf Club in Alpine, New Jersey, and the multiple courses at Blue Hill Golf Club in Pearl River, New York—where his Lakeside, Pines, and Woodland nines showcase his ability to craft distinct routing on a single property. His work at Myrtle Beach National Golf Club, including the King's North course, contributed to the resort destination's growth.

Duane's courses are characterized by thoughtful layout and accessibility, serving both private clubs and daily-fee facilities across the Eastern seaboard. His designs at Rock Hill Golf & Country Club and Spook Rock Golf Course demonstrate his range in suburban New York settings, while his Florida projects at The Meadows Country Club and Sebring International Golf Resort extended his reach into the Sunbelt market.
