Featured Testimonial
“Ken Gibson is one of the most creative golf course architects I have ever met. He has an eye for design and his ability to think outside the box helped to create some wonderfully unique, bold, and original golf course designs while at Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest and Associates. During his time with us, Ken also became the firm's leader in land planning, new master plan development and design development. He has an uncanny ability to create a comprehensive land plan that works best for each individual site; one that maximizes our client's residential land value while still creating the best possible golf experience. Ken has also demonstrated strong project management skills and the ability to manage and run a multi-million dollar project from start to finish.”

Additional Testimonials from Past Clients & Colleagues
“As the client of the Salt Cay Golf Course, an 18-hole, Audubon rated coastal links course, we were impressed with the design that Ken Gibson put together with AHSF design team. Under his leadership as the project manager, he created what will be a challenging and spectacular golf course, cleverly utilizing the natural features of the island and incorporating elements unique to the Caribbean, whilst working with us to minimize costs wherever possible. His passion for golf course design is clearly evident in his work and it was a pleasure working with him on the project.”

“I have known Ken Gibson for six years, during which time we have worked together on numerous golf course improvement projects at Westmoreland Country Club in Wilmette, Illinois… including the design and implementation of reconstructed greens and tees, construction of additional tee boxes, the dredging of ponds, berm construction, increasing the lengths of Westmoreland's first and tenth holes, as well as an extensive tree removal program. On numerous occasions Ken has exhibited the demeanor and ability to incorporate various ideas into a succinct design that is challenging and fair to golfers of all skill levels. Ken is an individual that I can recommend with complete confidence as he has always been most helpful in providing information and advice to the club on the proper improvements necessary to maximize member satisfaction.”
