Tom Fazio is the most prolific living American architect. His best work tends to be private, hilly, and aesthetically polished, Wade Hampton, Sage Valley, Dallas National. His worst work tends to look the same. The good ones, however, are some of the most fun courses in the country to play.
scratched.io's catalog credits Fazio (or his nephew Logan, working under the same firm) on seven mapped layouts so far.
