His architectural design work is general based on "strategic" golf course design, always in harmony with the existing nature.
His golf courses are designed for golfers of all levels of skill, for the professional player as well as for his grandmother, which gives every golfer a complete challenge and the desire to return. Not only 'Golf Course Architecture', but also cognisance of the 'market', ought to be the starting point of a golf-links architect. Beginning with the Clients' objectives, a differentiated and aesthetically sound product should be developed, which takes architectural and ecological values into account as well as those of the landscape plus the technical side of the game.
The design should be a synthesis of creative, managerial, technical and financial aspects. The designs of MasterGolf are found internationally and are carried out to the highest standards.
