Arthur Hills (1930 – May 18, 2021[1]) was an American golf course designer. He designed more than 200 new golf courses, including private, resort, upscale, and public golf courses around the world.[2][3] In addition, Arthur Hills' firm, Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest and Associates, has been requested to renovate or modify more than 120 courses, including some of the country's most renowned clubs, often in preparation for major USGA and PGA Championships.

Early life and education

Hills was born in 1930 in Toledo, Ohio. He attended Michigan State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (Agronomy) in 1953 and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Michigan.[4][5][6]

Career

Hills designed his first golf course in 1967: the course was Brandywine Country Club in Toledo, Ohio.[6] Hills stated that his main goal when designing a golf course was to make it playable for everyone of every skill level.[5] Hills designed golf courses in Portugal (2001), Croatia (2012),[2] and Sweden.[7]
