Palmer Course Design Co., the design firm bearing Arnold Palmer's name, brought the legendary golfer's vision and playing philosophy to courses worldwide. The company translated Palmer's aggressive, risk-reward approach to architecture, creating layouts that reward bold play while remaining accessible to golfers of varying abilities.
The firm's portfolio includes notable projects such as The Legend at Arrow Creek Golf Club in Reno, Nevada, and the trio of courses at Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club in Florida—Cypress Links, King's Dunes, and Royal Lakes. The company also ventured internationally with designs like Fasano Las Piedras in Uruguay. Palmer's design work extended across decades, with projects ranging from public daily-fee courses to exclusive private clubs, reflecting his commitment to growing the game at all levels.
Arnold Palmer's design philosophy emphasized strategic bunkering, thoughtful green complexes, and course routing that maximized natural terrain features, principles carried forward by the firm throughout its work.
