Jeffrey D. Brauer strives to provide every client design excellence, and their golfers a pleasant golf experience. However, it is rewarding personally to be recognized by various golf publications. It is rewarding for the owner as well, in both satisfaction of a job well done and on the bottom line. Award winning courses provide credible publicity money cannot buy. And, that draws golfers.
With three best new winners, including the rare back to back wins in the “Best New Upscale Public” award from Golf Digest, and ten overall placements on Best New lists, our work gathers publicity for owners at nearly the rate of the highest paid signature architects.
Beyond opening, our courses have staying power, and we have designed the top 3 ranked public courses in both Kansas and Minnesota, by Golf Digest, with Wilderness at Fortune Bay being named the Top Public Course in America by the Golf News Network, ten years after its opening.
When you retain Jeffrey D. Brauer, expect some press!
