Todd Eckenrode – Origins Golf Design has gained the reputation as a rising star in the field of classical golf course design, combining the experience, talented personnel, and projects that support its respected position in this competitive arena.

Origin’s goal is to design a golf course of the highest quality, reflective of their intense level of dedication to the project, from initial design concepts to the first round played. Origin’s believes that every golf course must have its own personality and sense of identity, that every hole should be a 'signature' hole. Origins looks for projects that challenge it to meet this goal, and to creatively find this underlying identity for the project, allowing it to subtly appear stroke by stroke.

The Origins organisation has produced golf courses that reflect a traditional and classic design, that are memorable, maintainable by contemporary costs and standards, and most importantly, are courses that will stand the test of time – that criteria by which all great golf courses are judged. Our design philosophy encompasses the principle that a golf course can be championship in nature while still providing a playable, enjoyable and thrilling challenge for all levels of player, representing the entire golfing spectrum… men, women, juniors and seniors.
