At the age of 18, Kyle Franz landed an internship with Tom Doak and his
team building the Pacific Dunes course at Bandon Dunes in Oregon. He’s
been running machinery, pushing, pulling a digging tool and designing at
the drawing table and computer ever since.
“It’s all about getting the absolute
most out of each and every detail
of the hole and maximizing the
architect’s concept.”
- Kyle Franz
“If you truly love architecture, then you truly love the day-to-day process in
the field of design and construction,” Franz says. “There are few things more
exhilarating than being out in the field – whether you’re finishing the detail on
a green, scraping out a bunker that’s lost its character or re-edging a fairway. It’s
all about getting the absolute most out of each and every detail of the hole and
maximizing the architect’s concept.”
