Our Process
Art and craft
GroundGame thrives at the intersection of art and the science, where imaginative designs are combined with rigorous technical proficiency to bring visions to life on time and on budget.
Vision and partnerships
From the outset we envision the full arc of a project, assembling a team of professionals who are responsive to our clients’ needs and share our commitment to delivering the highest level of quality in design and execution.
We have established partnerships with leading industry experts, knowledgeable construction managers, and skilled artisans to ensure alignment from day one. Our dedication to our clients and our ability to foster relationships built upon trust, communication and transparency are unmatched.
“Wade’s rigorous attention to detail is evident in the quality of his work; 'good enough' or 'close enough,' are not in his vocabulary.”

Context and Style
Wherever we work, context is paramount. Each golf course site is unique and we believe a golf course design should reflect the character of its setting and this is a source of tremendous inspiration. Every project presents a new opportunity to apply time-honoured principles in a new setting, each with a special style and character.
Tradition and Innovation
We supplement artful hand sketches with the latest technology, using computer aided modelling and drafting software to develop detailed design drawings that are then verified on site. This toolkit of technology leads to timely development approvals, the ability to accurately measure quantities, and establish budgets and secure pricing. The detail of these drawings and our knowing of golf construction methods gives contractors confidence when bidding our work thus providing value for our clients.
Commitment and quality
GroundGame has a constant presence on site through every phase of construction, ensuring maximum project efficiency. We diligently monitor the quality of work to preserve the integrity of the design. We verify the finished grades of every green with laser-level accuracy.
We work with a discriminating focus on quality that reflects our genuine desire to produce exceptional work while maintaining meaningful client relationships. We have no problem rolling up our sleeves on site to implement the fine-grained details that distinguish exceptional work.
