Nick is entering a fascinating chapter with his core Faldo brands .

After 18 years in the TV tower full time , he now is broadcasting for a select group of events for Sky Sports allowing for more time to get back on the ground and out in the field with those who truly love the game .
“ Golf course design has always been a great passion for me , playing the legendary courses around the world and watching the game evolve in the past few decades has given me endless concepts for new designs . Back at the start of 2000 when I first entered the design business , I was limited with time and often struggled to get on site during the early stages . I was still focused on winning majors . I love getting out in the field looking for golf holes , discovering natural features and envisioning how you would play the course , now I have that time to do just that , and I have been getting out there more and more in recent months .” said Nick .
Faldo Design is making big strides as the demand to have Nick in the field applying his lifetime of knowledge is in high demand . Nick continued that “ the global demand for new course design and older courses seeking upgrades and full renovations has required I expand my design team to match the level of requests coming in ”.
Much like Nick ’ s playing career , the Faldo Series and now the Design firm have gone global . New collaborators are joining forces with the team as numerous new projects are taking shape . Emerging markets continue to play a strong role in the golf course development industry and Faldo Design has Partnered with GEO to guide Sustainable design and development as well as brining in the R & A Sustainable Agronomy Services for new projects , this all helps ensure we are centered around our core principles at Faldo Design .
