Golf Course Design

The golf course design of DragonRidge marks the first collaboration between award-winning architect Jay Morrish and rising architect David Druzisky. The philosophy Morrish and Druzisky shared in designing the course was to make it playable for all skill levels, but to always keep players off balance.
