“Being selected and serving as the partner of choice for golf construction and renovation has been a thrill of our company for nearly 50 years,” said Jake Riekstins, Chief Development Officer of Landscapes Unlimited. “Our work reflected across ‘best of’ and ‘greatest’ lists is less about our accolades and more a testament to the talented teams assembled broadly to deliver exceptional golf.  We are grateful to the owners, architects and designers who continue to entrust us to help bring their visions to life.”

Golf Digest’s rankings are based on tens of thousands of evaluations submitted by its traveling course-ranking panelists and reflect the architectural merits (not affordability) of each course. 

Golfweek’s ranking criteria are routing, integrity of design (classic courses), quality of shaping (modern courses), overall land plan, greens and surroundings, variety and memorability (par 3s, 4s and 5s), tree and landscape management and “walk in the park” test.

Recently, Landscapes Unlimited placed 16 golf courses on Golf Club Atlas’ list of the greatest golf course “Custodians of the Game” worldwide.  The company was also named among the National Golf Foundation’s “Top 100 Businesses in Golf,” an honor it has held on to the biannual list each year since the inaugural edition in 2018.

Landscapes Unlimited has been the No. 1, go-to company to manage new builds and renovations for golf course owners and operators.  Its ability to attract and retain top talent leads to it being regularly called upon to responsibly support the requirement of modernizing, updating and upgrading.

The company’s Project Development Group is also on a roll, leading capital strategies, master planning, pre-construction, total project design-build and fully integrated program management solutions for golf course as well as state-of-the-art practice facilities, golf entertainment venues, lodging and other amenities.
