By Caspar

By Caspar is the design firm founded by Caspar Bay Grauballe, with a mission to elevate the game of golf through the creation of innovative new courses and the thoughtful refinement of existing ones. Growing up and spending much of his life in Denmark, Grauballe has been profoundly influenced by the nation’s celebrated tradition of design and architecture.

His work embodies the Danish emphasis on blending functionality with aesthetics, resulting in golf courses that are as beautiful as they are practical. Grauballe’s approach is deeply rooted in the traditions of classical British golf course architecture. His portfolio includes work on some of the world’s most revered courses, such as Royal Aberdeen, Lahinch, The Island and Ballybunion.

Additionally, as the lead architect for Hawtree Ltd, he played a key role in the design of the iconic Trump International Golf Links in Scotland. Driven by a passion for excellence, Caspar is committed to delivering the best possible solutions for his clients. His designs prioritise fairness, playability and sustainability, ensuring that each course not only meets the needs of the present but also endures as a cherished asset for future generations.

The guiding mission of By Caspar is to develop golf courses with a distinctive and timeless style, enabling clubs to attract more players while standing out in a competitive market. Whether creating new landscapes or revitalising existing courses, Grauballe’s work reflects dedication to the art and integrity of golf course design.
