JDR Leads on Question of When's and Why's of Course Restorations
By Design recently took on the topic of the true realities of golf course restoration. JDR walks the reader through the considerations architects and their clients may ponder when simultaneously considering a course's past and future.
Polo Club Poised for the Future
JDR recently capped off a major renovation at Boca Raton's Polo Club. Now with completely upgraded infrastructures the Club Course has been refashioned with a new, diverse design identity throughout, furthering Polo Club's position among the most established private clubs in South Florida.
JDR's "Must Know" Golf Courses
GCA recently asked Drew to create his "Top 10" golf courses. Not one for making lists of this sort, he took a slightly different route.

Quirky? Absolutely, but this list is sure to be unlike any other!
