Recently named one of the “25 Hottest Golf Architects in the World” by Golf World Magazine, Jim Engh’s reputation precedes him. He is one of only five living golf designers that have courses listed in Golf Digest’s “Top 50 Greatest Courses in America,” and was recognized as the “Architect of the Year” by Golf Digest in 2003.

In addition to Tullymore, many other courses designed by Engh have won wide acclaim. Engh’s first U.S. course, Sanctuary, was rated No. 1 in the private category by Golf Digest for “Top New Courses” and named to the “Top 50 of America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses,” making Engh the youngest golf architect to ever be named to the top 50 courses in 1999. His work on Tullymore and Redlands Mesa continued his successes, having won No.1 honors from Golf Digest in upscale public, affordable public and private categories.

Engh has 23 years of experience in course design and started his own firm in 1991. He learned his trade from such distinguished architects as Dick Nugent, Ken Dye and Joe Finger. He also served as director of golf course design with a legendary British firm, Cotton Pennick.

When he received his “Architect of the Year” honors, he told Golf Digest magazine: “I know we have to please golfers the first time out, but I also try to design other levels into our courses so that you’ll learn something new about every hole every time you play it.”

That’s certainly true of Tullymore, a course that you as a golfer will want to play again and again.
