Schmidt-Curley Design announces its formation of Green Dynasty Golf Course Construction Management, LLC, with firm principals Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley, founders of Flagstick Construction Management in 1997.
With its fundamental emphasis on unmatched customer satisfaction and two fully-staffed China offices, the Schmidt-Curley / Green Dynasty team is devoted to providing professional services in golf course design and construction.
Green Dynasty's main focus will be Schmidt-Curley projects; however, the company is open to providing services to other golf course architects should mutually appropriate opportunities and circumstances exist.
"Through our many years of golf construction management experience -- especially in China where language, logistics and cultural differences can pose additional hurdles to successful completion of projects -- we have assembled an all-star staff to ensure clients receive the best possible product in a timely and cost-effective manner," says Schmidt. "There has been a recent rush of architects looking to break into the country, but our comprehensive understanding of the market is a huge advantage we enjoy over competitors."
Green Dynasty will be managed by its president and partner, Owen Hester, formerly with Flagstick.
"Owen brings an ideal balance of knowledge about the golf course construction process and substantial industry experience, as well as a wealth of connections to the best talent in the industry," says Schmidt. "We are fortunate to have such a highly-credentialed and well-liked individual at the helm."
Green Dynasty's first project is a 36-hole, Schmidt-Curley-designed facility in Kunming, China on a spectacular property overlooking Lake Foshan.
"Our initial engagement is taking shape on one of the best sites under construction today, and we intend to create a golf experience that will soon challenge the top courses in the country," says Hester.
