RGD CONSULTING AND RESTORATION

A friend brought this to our attention recently: There were 14 courses that did not make the Top 100 US ranks (as per Golf Digest) in 1975, and yet made the list in 2017. We are proud to have restored or done consulting work over the years on 9 out of 14.

The 9 RGD Consulting Clients who were NOT in the Top 100 in 1975 vs. their 2017 Ranking:

Camargo (52), Crystal Downs (12), Essex County (91), Garden City Golf (46), Milwaukee (71), Somerset Hills (64), Shoreacres (66), Valley Club (80), Yeaman’s Hall (87)
