Golf Courses

David Johnson Golf Design LLC
Fords Colony Hole 17
The Marsh Hawk Course is wildly popular with area golfers and my objective in renovating the course was not to give the course a new identity, but to recapture some of the magic lost though the years.
Graymere Country Club Columbia, Tennessee
Situated on a tight, tree-lined property, I have worked with the Club to create a long-term Master Plan for improvements to the course.
Utilizing a classic front-nine out and back-nine return routing, the course takes full advantage of the gently rolling terrain in offering a unique golfing experience.
River Oaks Golf Club, Statesville, North Carolina
River Oaks is a semi-private golf course located in the picturesque foothills of North Carolina. Routed through rolling topography, the course has many memorable holes.
John A. White Golf Course, Atlanta, Georgia
John A. White Golf Course is a public access, nine-hole golf course that serves as a home of the First Tee – Metro Atlanta. In 2022 I assisted with a significant course renovation that included rebuilding the greens and the sand bunkers.
I tackled the Brentwood Country Club renovation with the goal of helping the Club improve playability and strategy, ease of maintenance, and find a few extra yards for today’s long hitters.
Kershaw Golf Club Hole 10
This course has a fantastic mix of forested land, open meadows and a beautiful, tumbling creek.
Toqua Golf Course - Loudon, Tennessee
Nestled in the rolling hills alongside Tellico Lake, Toqua Golf Club is a beautiful scenic golf course.
Button Hole Golf Course is a nationally acclaimed nine-hole, part three course.
Cartersville Country Club Cartersville, Georgia
Through numerous renovations on this course, we were able to create greens with far more character, variety and pin placements than their predecessors.
Bent Tree Golf Club Jasper, Georgia
Bent Tree, opened in 1972, is a scenic course situated in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains.
Meadowlands Golf Club Calabash, North Carolina
A popular course in the North Myrtle Beach area, I have recently assisted the Club in a number of improvement projects.
The Hooch Golf Club - Hole 17
The Hooch Golf Club is one of the top executive length courses you will find. Although it only stretches to 4,100 yards and has a par of 61, I wanted players to hit nearly every club in their bag and be tested mentally.
Designed to incorporate many of the characteristics of great links-style courses, Farmstead is a fantastic test of golf.
