Martin Hawtree defines the ethos of Hawtree:
“The international portfolio of Hawtree has provided
us with an awareness of the importance of various approaches and design strategies
necessary for the diverse climates and cultures of the world. With a high proportion
of time being spent at existing golf clubs, the everyday problems of managing, remodeling
and refining courses for today’s needs are well understood.
Our golf course architects set themselves exacting standards. The same care and
effort continue with the preparation of the detailed design of the golf course;
great importance is attached to the site, to preserve its existing character and
create an individual golf course inspired by the site and ensuring the contentment
of a wide variety of golfer.”
Although the guiding principles of good course layout and design hark back to the
pioneering days of Fred, under Martin’s tenure, Hawtree has embraced new technology
to help equip its architects with the best tools available.
Using the latest software, proposed course layouts and renovations are rendered
as realistic images allowing clients to visualize the course at the earliest stages
of the project.
Hawtree’s current projects include a new 18-hole links Golf Course in Scotland for
Donald Trump, an 18-hole links in Brazil as well as new golf courses in the Ukraine,
India and Sweden.
