If Jack Nicklaus' mark on the 20th century was his golf game, his legacy in the 21st century will be his golf course design career.  His company, Nicklaus Design, has over 270 courses open for play in 27 countries and 36 states, 36 of which have been ranked in various Top-100 lists.  Nicklaus Design has firmly established itself as the largest and most active golf course design firm in the world.

Nicklaus Design's golf course design expertise can now be utilized in the synthetic turf industry, exclusively through a partnership with Southwest Greens.  Through this affiliation, Southwest Greens' clients can access Nicklaus Design's superior knowledge and be assured that their custom-designed green will be of the highest quality.  A personalized bronze plate, bearing the Nicklaus Design logo, will be inset alongside each putting surface to readily identify the elevated stature of your green.  View an article from The Wire, which introduces Southwest Greens' relationship with Nicklaus Design.

For residential settings that require greens 1,500 square feet and larger, you can have Nicklaus Design's team of professionals design a practice area that can include short-game chipping areas and sand traps, in addition to the putting surface, based on your personal preferences.

Designers from the Nicklaus organization, along with a team of specialized installers from Southwest Greens, collaborated on Vince Gill's Nicklaus Design putting surface at his residence in Nashville, TN (pictured).
