Leader In Our Field

Dismal River Golf Club Nebraska, USA

COMPLETED PROJECTS

Flagstick managed the construction of �ve championship golf courses at Mission Hills Shenzhen. Our experienced team coordinated the work of multiple architect teams, dozens of construction consultants and engineers, and thousands of labor-ers. Due to our success in Shenzhen, we were brought in again at Mission Hills Haikou to manage the work of all ten golf courses. The stunning A-Course, routed through rugged lava �elds, will play host to the 2011 Omega Mission Hills World Cup.

Mission Hills Shenzhen / HaikouA Schmidt-Curley Design

“Mission Hills hired Flagstick to build �ve golf courses simultaneously in fourteen months – something that had never been attempted. Thanks to Flagstick’s ef�cient and adaptable management style, global golf construction experience, and extensive contacts within the industry, Mission Hills Golf Club has become the largest and one of the most success-ful golf resorts in the world.”

Dr. Ken Chu, Vice Chairman Mission Hills Golf Club


COMPLETED PROJECTS

Tom Weiskopf’s �rst Signature Design in China, this striking course weaves through the native sand dunes of Hainan Island’s east coast, creating a dramatic and memorable setting for golf. Flagstick coordinated the work of the architect, contractor and labor teams to craft this masterpiece that was ranked the 3rd Best New International Course by Golf Maga-zine in 2010, and was named the Best Golf Course in China by Robb Report Best of the Best Awards 2011.

Flagstick’s experience in Asia, and in particular in China, has been invaluable to this project. Without the support of Flagstick the job of pulling off this world-class product would not have been possible. Flagstick built an excellent relation-ship with the local Chinese crews and had the full trust of the Weiskopf team. As a result, I am convinced our course will be among the best in Asia, and possibly one of the best in the world.”

Steven Thielke, General Manager of Hotels and Golf The Dunes at Shenzhou Peninsula


Set against the rugged and vast Montana landscape, The Wilderness Club is considered one of Sir Nick Faldo’s �nest designs. It was recognized by Golf Magazine as America’s 2nd Best New Private Course in 2009. The Flagstick team worked with Nick Faldo and Schmidt-Curley Design to carve the course out of native pine forests and prai-rie. The result is a breathtaking master-piece that complements the grandeur of the land.

The Wilderness ClubA Nick Faldo / Schmidt-Curley Design

“Flagstick’s expertise in golf course construction management is unsurpassed for keeping the construction process on schedule and on budget, which is important to the success of any project. For a golf course architect, Flagstick’s understanding of design concepts and experience with various types of sites is so important to making a good design a reality. Flagstick has been very �exible in creating a management program that meets the desires of each client. The repeat business from owners and developers also shows the con�dence they have in Flagstick’s performance.”

Lee Schmidt, Principal Schmidt-Curley Design

Our Philosophy

Since 1998, Flagstick has transformed the visions of golf course architects and develop-ers into reality.We believe that the ultimate success of every project, large or small, is a direct re�ection of who we are. Consequently, Flagstick will not undertake construction management for any project without sincerely believing that we are capable of providing results that exceed the client's expectations.

The challenges of constructing a golf course on schedule, within budget, and to world-class standards are demanding and complex.To meet these challenges, Flagstick provides innovative construction options and detailed project man-agement. We believe in doing extensive pre-construction research, scheduling and budgeting, which enable our clients to have a clear understanding of the construction process and to accurately forecast costs. This simple and inexpensive process ensures that the entire project team is working toward the same goals, and prevents undesirable and costly surprises after construction has begun.

Our ultimate objective is to reduce the risks of project execution for our clients, and to simplify the construction process with ef�ciency and organization.Through open communication, attention to detail, and the ability to tailor our services and fees to each project, we ensure that Flagstick will add indispensable value to every project. Years of experience, and adherence to these principles and values, have made us the world’s leader in golf course construction management.
