Description

Nelson & Haworth is one of the most highly respected and sought after golf course design firms. We work in many countries around the world, often in difficult terrain and climatic conditions, producing courses that are unique, beautiful and enduringly playable. Well known for designing award-winning, challenging and enjoyable golf courses that sit lightly on the land, we often incorporate elements of local cultural significance. Founded in 1987 by senior partner Robin Nelson, the design firm of Nelson & Haworth originally formed part of the respected and diversified Belt Collins group of companies, based in Hawaii. Architects Robin Nelson, Neil Haworth and Brett Mogg purchased the Belt Collins interest in Nelson & Haworth in early 2000 and now operate the company from offices in Singapore, Shanghai and San Francisco. Singapore is the head office of the company, providing timely and economical design services to clients in the region. Established more than ten years ago, it is the base for operations throughout Asia Pacific, Europe and Africa. Brett Mogg heads the Singapore office. Our Shanghai office provides services to the scores of golf projects that we have completed or that are under design and construction in China, the fastest growing golfing nation in the world. Nelson & Haworth have designed nearly 10% of all the courses in China. Neil Haworth is based in Shanghai and Phuket, Thailand. Our U.S. operation is managed by Robin Nelson. His San Francisco office caters to projects in North and South America, as well as the South Pacific and Hawaii, where we have contributed nearly 20 percent of the courses. Resources are shared between each office and design collaboration is conducted on a world-wide basis. These strategically placed offices allow us to visit our projects in all corners of the world more economically and more frequently, consistently obtaining a high level of product for our clients.
