Newport Beach County Club – Golf Course Project Interview

July 20, 2022

We hired Casey to create a Master Plan of our San Gorgonio Course. His changes to the green complexes and sand bunkers look amazing and greatly improved the playability for our members and also reduced our maintenance costs. Casey’s design exceeded our expectations and we have brought him back to create a Master Plan for our Santa Rosa Course.

“Casey’s vision for the renovation turned our goals into a reality. His attention to detail made a great golf course into a masterpiece.”

David G. Youpa, PGA – Director of Golf, Industry Hills Golf Club

“One of the most difficult aspects of golf course design is making a course challenging for professionals yet playable for the average golfer. That is exactly what Casey was able to do at our club.”

Michael Block, PGA – Head Golf Professional, Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club

“Casey guided us through each phase of our Bunker Renovation project in anticipation of our centennial celebration. His research and design kept us connected with our century old George Thomas heritage while delivering a finished product our membership loves."

Garrett Cunningham – Greens Committee Chair, Red Hill Country Club

“Casey O'Callaghan is one of the best architects in the Country. He knows how to draw what he wants; he is very diligent at building complete and comprehensive budgets and is an absolute joy to work for! His attention to detail and complete understanding of the project prior to the start of construction is unsurpassed in the industry."

Jade Work - President, Integrity Golf Construction

“Twelve years ago, we hired Casey O’Callaghan as our golf courses advisor. This has been an outstanding relationship for Blackhawk Country Club. Casey has been a valuable asset in guiding the rebuilding of our tees, sand bunkers and greens and he is a pleasure to work with.”

Leonard J Ialeggio – Board President, Blackhawk Country Club

“I’ve had the opportunity to work with Casey O’Callaghan on two different projects. Casey is great partner to work with - there are three personal qualities about Casey that I really appreciate. He is extremely open to feedback, he has no ego and appreciates honest and candid conversations, and he is driven to do the absolute best work possible. Professionally, his plans are extremely accurate and there aren’t any financial surprises during the project. I would absolutely work with him again!”

Robin Shelton, MBA, CCM, PGA Master Professional - General Manager, Newport Beach Country Club
