“We are always overwhelmed to be listed alongside the world-famous courses designed by greats like Alister MacKenzie and are grateful to Golf Digest for the recognition.”

Since its inception in 1987, Greg Norman Golf Course Design has been one of Norman’s true passions in both business and life. His experience playing many of the world’s great golf courses over a 25-year career served as a catalyst to develop this interest and turn it into a thriving company.
Today, GNGCD courses span the globe, covering six continents and 34 countries.
The firm has several new international designs slated for grand openings in 2018, including KN Cam Ranh Links (Vietnam), Ayla Oasis (Jordan) and Rancho San Lucas (Mexico).
