John Fought is an American golf course architect and former professional golfer who competed on the PGA Tour, Nationwide Tour, and Champions Tour. Born January 28, 1954, Fought transitioned from competitive golf into a successful design career that has produced a diverse portfolio spanning resort, private, and public facilities across the United States.
His work includes notable courses such as Windsong Farm in Minnesota, a restoration of the historic Pine Needles in Southern Pines, North Carolina, and the Championship course at Sand Hollow Resort in Utah. Fought has demonstrated versatility across varied terrain, from the desert landscapes of Arizona—including DC Ranch in Scottsdale and both North and South courses at The Gallery in Marana—to the Pacific Northwest, where projects like Tualatin Country Club and the Meadows at Sunriver Resort reflect regional design sensibilities.
His portfolio spans multiple states and playing experiences, from the Dogwood/Azalea combination at the Country Club of Jackson in Mississippi to shorter formats like Cloud Nine at Angel Park in Las Vegas. Fought's transition from tour professional to architect has allowed him to blend playing experience with thoughtful design across resort and club environments.
