For those newer to the RGD family, some history is worth knowing. Tom Doak, the founder of Renaissance Golf Design, passed the reins to the team some time ago and is no longer part of daily operations — though he remains our founder and a friend to every RGD associate.

The firm today is led by Brian Schneider, Eric Iverson, Don Placek, and Brian Slawnik, four designers who each spent 15 to 20 years learning the craft in the field before stepping into leadership.
