BIRD GOLF DESIGN founder Brian Bird graduated from the California State University in Pomona with a Bachelor of Science Degree, in Landscape Architecture. From there he has apprenticed with such renowned golf course architects as Golfplan – Ron Fream, Desmond Muirhead, Robert Muir Graves, and John Harbottle prior to forming BIRD GOLF DESIGN.
To augment technical skills acquired during employment with the aforementioned, Brian worked as an Assistant Construction Superintendent for Wadsworth Golf Construction. The involvement with Wadsworth facilitated the learning of many physical components of golf course construction from a builder's perspective that provides him with greater insight and understanding of golf course form and function.
Brian has also worked as a greenkeeper maintaining a Golf Digest 4 Star course in Northern California that he assisted with its course remodeling. Brian is a member of the Australian Golf Union and United States Golf Association and former member of the Australian and Northern California Golf Course Superintendents Associations.
Multiple sabbaticals to Scotland, Ireland, Mexico, and Australia have given Brian the opportunity to study and play historic championship links from where the game has evolved and spread. This has enabled him to gain further perceptions on golf course design and combine them with the other experiences that influence his design philosophy:
‘To create timeless, environmentally sound, and economically viable golf courses
that are challenging and enjoyable for golfers of all abilities, and
fulfill the client's vision and project goals’.
