A key component to everyday life and project management is Bergin Golf Designs’ not so secret companion, Albie. Seen traveling across most of the Southeastern United States, Albie offers a new dimension in work productivity. When the van is on the road, someone is in the “mobile office’ getting work done.

Additionally, Bergin Golf Designs is able to keep materials and supplies within easy reach.

Justin Killingsworth

Design Associate

After an initial stint with Bergin Golf Designs from 2006-2009, we were fortunate to have Justin Killingsworth rejoin the company in the fall of 2022. Involved in all aspects of plan production and presentation, Justin is able to express our proposed designs in graphic form. His presentations help our clients visualize potential changes to a hole or the land. Justin’s work has continued to advance to include strategic design and detailed grading plans. A member of the ASGCA Tartan Program, Justin is working toward full membership with the ASGCA. 

Justin obtained a master’s degree in landscape architecture from Louisiana State University and a degree in Ornamental Horticulture from the University of Tennessee, combining his love for the game with a well-planned education. As a student at the University of Tennessee, Justin obtained plant knowledge and construction experience by interning for four years with a landscape design company. His training consisted of developing design concepts, creating artistic renderings, and executing field implementation. As a graduate student at LSU, Justin’s internship allowed him to assist with various projects ranging from city master planning to small scale park design.

Matt Bergin - ASGCA

Design Associate

Matt Bergin joined Bergin Golf Designs in 2016 as a draftsman. Fast forward to today, Matt is involved in both strategy and grading plans, influencing and contributing to the overall design and execution of our projects. Matt also performs site visits – both in the initial design phase, as well as during construction supervision. After four years in the ASGCA Tartan Program, Matt became a full member of the ASGCA in the fall of 2025.

In his initial years with the company, Matt quickly acquired the AutoCad skills necessary to produce construction documents. He also assumed and continues to hold responsibility for all drone flights, producing topographical base maps, as well as photography and videography, during construction and upon course completion. 

Growing up in the Bergin family, golf has always been a part of Matt’s life. During his college years, Matt began his work experience in the industry at Cherokee Town & Country Club in Atlanta, GA, gaining valuable experience in golf course operations and maintenance while working on Cherokee’s grounds crew and in the Pro Shop. A graduate of Rhodes College with a degree in Theatre Arts, Matt’s artistic aptitude and set design experience have greatly contributed to an appreciation of spatial relationships and an understanding of scale. Matt brings that knowledge to golf course design – the stage for the game of golf.

His ability to see things not as they are, but what they could be, was well evidenced during his time there.
