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.
Enjoy the selected before and after photos below as they offer a glimpse of the variety of our transformations and the existing conditions with which we worked. Click on an image and then slide your cursor across the pop-up to see the make-over.

The 5th hole at Chattanooga has returned to its Donald Ross roots! No longer surrounded by sand, Bergin Golf Designs utilized a historical aerial photograph to restore the cross bunker configuration on this mid-length par three.

With the Little Harpeth River meandering through most of the back nine, Brentwood Country Club sits in an idyllic setting. The short 10th presents a terrific scoring opportunity!

CC Sapphire Valley #12
• Cashiers, North Carolina

At only 287 yards, three strategic options greet players on this diminutive par four. Play short and spin the approach, challenge the cross bunkering for a short pitch, or attempt to drive this tiny sliver of a putting surface.

Pinetree CC #16
• Kennesaw, GA

It is hard to grasp that this is the same 16th hole at Pinetree CC. The green was moved, trees were cleared and the pond was adjusted to reveal this fabulous par 4.5. At just over 500 yards, it is a par five; however, all players want to try and recover a stroke lost elsewhere on this demanding golf course.
