Hills • Forrest • Smith Golf Course Architects

Have a fun and safe July 4th weekend! Take some time to enjoy friends, family and, of course, the great game of golf!

Happy Canada Day to everyone from the Yukon Territory to Nova Scotia and all points in between!

A page from the Hills • Forrest • Smith portfolio – Chicago Highlands Golf Club, Westchester, Ill. How inviting is this? 270-acres of “linksland” dedicated to golf, with impressive views of the Chicago skyline and no homes in site. Massive fescue hills, sprawling bentgrass fairways, ever-changing prairie winds and classic golf challenges. We transformed a waste landfill into one of the Midwest’s most dynamic golf experiences. Experience it for yourself!

From "Golf Course Industry," Collier’s Reserve (a Hills*Forrest*Smith design) has been at the front of environmental efforts in Florida and beyond for more than 30 years. "There are a lot of great places to play golf, but not many that can provide great golf while being so ingrained with its natural environment.” https://tinyurl.com/dp49fwh6

From the Hills.Forrest.Smith portfolio – Journey at Pechanga, Temecula, Calif. Set amidst the foothills of the Temecula Mountains Journey offers awe-inspiring views of Wine Country and rolling hills. During the course's creation, great care was taken to preserve the native live oaks and protect culturally sensitive areas, honoring the land’s integrity and heritage. The result? A truly remarkable golfing experience that celebrates the rich history of the Pechanga Tribe and showcases the beauty of the natural landscape.

Multiple Hills.Forrest.Smith designs have achieved “Signature Sanctuary” distinction from Audubon International. Steve Forrest recently shared these and other examples with students at Schiller International University’s Madrid Campus, illustrating that there is more that can and should be done around the world to show respect for both the land and the traditions of the game.
