TGC Tours National Treasure Design Contest | Blackcomb | PGA Tour 2K23

Blackcomb is my entry into the 2024 National Treasure Design Contest - Designer - mmallahan

I selected Canadian great, Stanley Thompson, as my architect. I really enjoyed researching and learning about his life and design style. One thing I found rather interesting is that when he designed for the average investor, looking to just get a course on the map, he always made their budget, however, the course was usually more basic in its design, with future drawings of renovation options to liven it up (one way Thompson ensured he always had work coming down the pike). But when Thompson design for large corporations, he always came in well-over budget, seemingly thinking “they can afford it,” hence the elaborate designs of Banff Springs, Capilano, St. George’s to name a few. He definitely had a signature bunkering style and sculpting with these courses
