Tim Jackson and David Kahn cofounded Jackson
Kahn Design in 2009. With the addition of good
friend and associate Scott Hoffman in 2012,
Jackson Kahn Design strengthened our team approach.
Our educational backgrounds in Agronomy, Landscape
Architecture and Mathematics, nearly $500,000,000
in project experience, and a direct hand in many award
winning designs allows us to bring a confident ability
to perform on projects both small and large. Having
completed $100,000 remodels to $35,000,000 new
designs, Jackson Kahn Design has brought a wide range
of projects from conception to completion. Our focus on
the needs of the client drives our philosophy and directs
our efforts. Our ability to communicate design concepts
and then spend the time in the dirt refining and improving
those ideas is the core of our company. In the short time
since our inception, Jackson Kahn Design has earned the
opportunity to be a part of many extraordinary projects.

Our goal for the restoration of Sunnylands focused on
rebuilding the golf course features that defined the
Sunnylands experience for the Annenbergs and their
guests. Our research included reviewing historic images of aerials
and routing plans, historic photographs, interviews with those
who worked on the original construction, and physical inspection
of the current site and its features. What we learned from these
efforts enabled us to create a detailed “road map” in restoring
the aesthetic and physical design features of the golf course at
Sunnylands. The implementation of the “road map” has included
a significant amount of preparation and field work with the golf
contractor. Rediscovering and reshaping the green complexes,
bunkers and tees to original dimensions has re-established the
character and scale of the golf course. The end result will reaffirm
the strength and interest of the original Dick Wilson design and
allow the course to be experienced as originally intended and
envisioned by Walter and Leonore Annenberg.

JKD has been privileged to assist Bob Parsons in
making refinements and improvements to the
original course at Scottsdale National. With
revisions to the 15th and 18th holes in the summer of
2014, we are helping to fulfill Mr. Parsons’ continued
commitment to invest in upgrades to the property to
the benefit of his membership and their guests. We
are truly privileged to have the opportunity to work
alongside an owner whose only directive is to simply
make it the best!v
PRONGHORNThe land on which Pronghorn sits is an ancient
field of lava. Weathered by time, and covered
in juniper, sage, and bunch grass, the property
dictated the entire design of the course. Sand
capping all of the turf areas allowed for impeccable
conditioning, which contrasts perfectly with the native
transition bunkering. The key at Pronghorn is how well
the course blends into it’s surrounding environment.
It is difficult to tell where golf stops and high Oregon
desert begins.

One of the three pillars of George Thomas’s Los
Angeles designs of the 1920’s, Bel Air Country
Club stands as one of the most iconic golf clubs
in America. In conjunction with Tom Fazio, Jackson
Kahn Design has been working closely with the club,
and superintendent Brian Sullivan, in recovering lost
design characteristics and enacting improvements to
the property as well. Given the rich tradition of the
course and club, we feel very fortunate in having the
opportunity to assist in the work. Bel Air is truly one
of the special places in golf.

The Master Plan project at Shady Canyon is
focused on refining minor elements of the
course design. Working alongside the greens
committee and membership to identify the strategic
and aesthetic improvements has been an enjoyable
and rewarding process. It is always interesting to
understand how an original design evolves from
opening, and which areas can be improved upon to
further the enjoyment for the club. We look forward to
implementing the adjustments over the next several
years, and helping Shady Canyon further elevate its
status as one of southern California’s premier private
golf clubs.
