Our approach

Let the site dictate the design

Every project is different. We work with the land, blend each course into its landscape and keep as much of the natural setting as we can.

On existing courses we respect the history of the club while responding to how the game and its equipment have changed. We have owned and operated courses ourselves, so we design and build with running costs and the business of golf in mind.

About

A family business, hands on since 1981

Sid Puddicombe Associates, now Puddicombe Golf, is a family owned Alberta and New Zealand company specialising in the turn-key design and construction of golf courses. Our strength is the redevelopment of existing courses, where member expectations and club politics make the work hardest.

We designed, built, owned and ran RedTail Landing and Whitetail Crossing for close to 20 years. That experience goes straight back to our clients.
