Bechtol Golf Design was founded in 1998 as an independent golf
course architecture and design practice. The firm combines the complementary
talents of its principal, Roy Bechtol, with a large and knowledgeable support
staff. Unique among golf course design firms, Bechtol Golf Design has access
to expertise extending across the entire land planning, environmental, landscape
architecture and development process. Our offices are on the shores of beautiful Lake Austin, deep in the heart of Austin's renowned Hill Country and shares space with Planned Environments, Inc., an associated company specializing in land planning and landscape architecture. During our first nine years, Bechtol Golf Design has designed, built or collaborated in the building of more than 20 top-ranked golf courses. And the future looks even brighter and more productive, with at least 50 courses under consideration at all times. Our trademark continues to be course design that rewards a broad range of play levels and integrates seamlessly into the community and the environment. As simple as it seems, Bechtol Golf Design fashions and designs golf courses that are beautiful and fun to play.
