PASTE Golf Design is a contemporary and forward thinking design practice led by Ben Stephens. Stephens is a RIBA Chartered Architect with 20 years of post-qualification experience and is a member of European Institute of Golf Course Architects (EIGCA).

The company predominantly works on projects in the UK and Europe but has the flexibility and adaptability to be able to work anywhere in the world. PASTE offers a unique service, providing design solutions around all aspects of any golf development. It also has an excellent record of achieving planning permission for projects – often a time consuming hurdle for less qualified or experienced architects.

First class design is imperative to Stephens as he assists clients to visualise what improvements could be made to their golf course or buildings. Stephens has vast practical experience of designing golf courses and facilities to suit the needs of all levels of golfers from 18-hole courses, par three and pitch and putt layouts to short-game areas, driving ranges, putting greens, indoor areas, and floodlit golf. Stephens’ background in architecture is evident via sister company PASTE Architects where he has experience of designing clubhouses, driving range structure, maintenance areas, master planning, other sports and leisure facilities, hotels, and housing developments. Sustainability is high on PASTE’s agenda for both golf courses and buildings.

It can advise on how clubs and facilities can be more eco-friendly and reduce their long term costs to enable them to have a more future proofed sustainable business.
