Founded in 1887, Piedmont Driving Club is one of the oldest private clubs in Georgia. We're proud to partner on a new Master Plan for the course, to unlock the full potential of this remarkable property while honoring the character, history & traditions that make it special.

Golf from 1922, with a significant, and fantastic, redesign from @OCMGolf in 2020. It plays the template hits, and the vibrancy of the whole facility mixed with splendid gca, make it a great place to spend a day

This, alongside Jeff Mingay’s project in Nova Scotia, Fox Harb’r’s 2 “new” courses from Carrick & McBroom, Cabot Revelstoke & Hillsdale from Whitman/Axland/Cutten, & more sets up the last 3 years of the 2020s as the most exciting time in 🇨🇦 architecture since the late 1920s!
We are excited to announce our newest project, @TabooMuskoka. Stretching across an incredible landscape of dramatic contours, exposed rock, lakes, and majestic old forests, this is our first design in Canada. Thanks to @harriskalinka for bringing our vision to life.

The southern part of Huntingdale GC has seen dramatic change. We were especially excited to bring back the short par 4 5th, now defended by sand instead of tea tree. Add the new 9th & 13th greens, a reworked par 3 3rd, and the new short par 3 8th.

I had my last “daylight savings” evening hit on the Kingston Heath Short Course a couple of days ago.
They had the hole 🕳️ cut in the teardrop part of our 6th green - 103m/112yards.
Cool hole.

In '22 we took 13 acres of market garden left of the 12th hole at @KingstonHeathGC & created a new 9-hole short course. “The Furrows” features 9 holes, played from 70m - 140m & designed to give golfers the same experience as playing the main course, albeit from a shorter distance

We’re returning to New London, Minnesota in spring for final touches on new 18-hole design: Tepetonka. We’ll shape the last short course green, cut bunker edges & fine-tune grassing lines on main course. With nice spring weather, expect preview rounds this summer📸 @capturefilmco

@MikeCocking gives us the cliff notes of Huntingdale’s architectural history following @OCMGolf’s overhaul of C.H. Alison’s lone Australian contribution.

For years, Huntingdale was known more for being the de facto home of the Australian Open than a great golf course, even if it originally has ties to famed British architect C.H. Alison. After the recent @OCMGolf dramatic overhaul, that reputation is no more.

I always had a mild curiosity for Huntingdale given C.H. Alison, an architect’s work I admire greatly in Quebec, had designed the golf course without stepping foot in Australia. After OCM’s dramatic overhaul, its deserving of once again being a must-see:

Time on site during construction is the most important part of our role as architects. Walking the land, weighing possibilities, deciding the best way forward. Sketching in the field is part of that process. Sometimes it's a simple line drawing. Other times, more elaborate.

Sandringham Golf Course
A delightful introduction to sandbelt golf. Redesigned by @OCMGolf in 2019, this par 65 packs a punch and is presented in a very fine manner. The fescue approaches with firm turf ensure the ground game is alive and kicking

@GolfDigest architectural editor, Derek Duncan aka @feedtheball, asked Geoff and Mike one simple question... "If OCM built a golf course today to test the world's best players, what would it look like?" Read it here: australiangolfdigest.com.au/…

The Huntingdale redevelopment on Melbourne's Sandbelt is nothing short of breathtaking. @nickohern and @MarkAllenGolf chatted with @OCMGolf's @MikeCocking and had a look around the course. Watch on YouTube here: youtu.be/4XgUQs_kymY
