Transformations
Not all renovations are created equal. Ours begin with researching the origins of a golf course and then studying the land to determine both its attributes and challenges. As the plans begin to form, the process is guided by historical considerations, logistical opportunity and feasible solutions.
The results of our creativity range from subtle to astonishing.
Considered a reverent restorer of classic courses, Bergin Golf Designs takes pride in honoring the roots of our projects while bringing them current with today’s technology, environmental stewardship, and best maintenance practices.

Dalton Golf & CC #15

The major renovation to Dalton Golf & Country Club is one of great importance to Bergin Golf Designs. Bill won the 1981 Georgia Amateur Championship on this course shooting a final round 65.

Valdosta CC #13
• Valdosta, Georgia
• www.valdostacc.com
Completely reconfigured with our recent renovation, Valdosta Country Club is an historic club and has occupied this site for over 100 years. The par three 13th is practically an island and the putting surface is now married to the left edge of the landform.

Druid Hills Golf Club #7
• Atlanta, Georgia
• www.dhgc.org
The par five 7th at Druid Hills Golf Club is an exciting hole. Presenting an excellent scoring opportunity for the longer hitters, it is well-bunkered and visually stunning. A slight bunker reduction and new style allows for more diverse recovery shots around the green and returns the course to its 1915 architectural roots.

Fox Den CC #2
• Farragut, Tennessee
• www.foxdencountryclub.com
By reducing the putting surface and shifting the green closer to the lake, players must consider how aggressive they would like to be on the par three 2nd hole at Fox Den. As frequently found on a Bergin Golf Designs course, there is ample room to navigate away from trouble.

Hoover CC #17
• Hoover, Alabama
• www.hoovercountryclub.org
At the heart of Bergin Golf Designs’ philosophy is allowing golfers some ground access to the putting surface. The new 17th not only has a putting surface with manageable yet interesting movement, players have the ability to play safely short or run a ball onto the green.

Sky Valley Golf Club #5
• Sky Valley, Georgia
• www.skyvalley.com
Set in a gorgeous valley with a twelve acre lake as its centerpiece, Sky Valley was blessed with a terrific site for mountain golf. By adding almost 600 yards in length and drastically improving the conditioning of the course, Sky Valley presents a totally new golf experience.
