What Total Golf Construction does
Total Golf Construction, Inc. is a privately held, Vero Beach, Florida-based golf course construction firm founded overseas in 1987 and incorporated in the United States in 1993, with partners accumulating over 40 years of industry experience. The company provides turnkey new golf course construction and renovation services worldwide, including earth moving and shaping, drainage installation, computerized irrigation systems (PVC and HDPE with VFD-controlled pump stations), GPS-enabled surveying and layout, USGA specification greens construction, and post-construction grow-in and turf management. The firm holds one of only 27-28 Certified Builder designations from the Golf Course Builders Association of America (GCBAA) and operates with a complete in-house equipment fleet, avoiding subcontractor fragmentation on diverse international soil conditions.
The company's business model is project-based with one-time, quote-driven contracts ranging from short two-week driving range tee renovations to multi-year championship course builds. Pricing is custom per project, anchored by a no-charge initial consultation. Total Golf Construction pursues enterprise customers directly through its Vero Beach headquarters, a website inquiry channel, and an international network of regional representatives spanning the UK (Middle East/Europe/Asia), the Americas, Nigeria/Ghana, and Egypt. The firm has delivered iconic projects including the Emirates Golf Club (first all-grass course in the Middle East), Trump National Doral, Trump International Canouan, Dorado Beach for Hyatt, and the first golf course in Azerbaijan managed by Troon Premier, collaborating with architects such as Robert Trent Jones Jr., Jim Fazio, Raymond Floyd, and Ron Garl. The company has begun diversifying into commercial Site Development Services, leveraging its earth-moving capability beyond golf-specific work.
