Tom Lehman is best known as a major championship-winning professional golfer—he captured the 1996 Open Championship and became the only player to earn Player of the Year honors on the developmental Ben Hogan Tour, the PGA Tour, and PGA Tour Champions. Beyond his playing career, Lehman has turned his attention to golf course design, working across the United States on layouts that reflect his deep understanding of tournament golf.
His portfolio spans diverse settings, from the windswept prairie terrain of Nebraska—where he designed The Dunes at The Prairie Club in Valentine and Frederick Peak Golf Club nearby—to desert courses in Arizona such as The Country Club at DC Ranch in Scottsdale and Encanterra Country Club in San Tan Valley. In the upper Midwest, his work includes Troy Burne Golf Club in Hudson, Wisconsin, and Somerby Golf Club in Byron, Minnesota. Other notable projects include The Gallery Golf Club (North course) in Marana, Arizona, and renovation work at Phoenix Country Club's Championship course.
Lehman's designs emphasize playability and strategic variety, drawing on lessons learned competing at the highest levels of professional golf.
