I am extremely pleased to share with you this book, which provides you a sampling of my design work over the past 25 years. As I reviewed its contents, I am struck with the wide variety of designs in varying climates, terrains and soils that my clients have given me the privilege of working on. Wherever the challenge has taken me - and some locations have been more difficult than I could have imagined - my staff and I have delivered high quality, on-schedule and on-budget project completions. Regardless if the assignment was to create a private or equity course, a memorable resort attraction or a functional and enjoyable daily fee or municipal facility, I have approached each opportunity with the same enthusiasm. Whether we provided a Fred Couples Signature or a Gene Bates Signature design, our responsibility is consistent, outstanding design, playability and quality.

Thank you for taking this time to review my work. I look forward to meeting with you personally to discuss how the Bates Golf Design Group can help you achieve your project goals.
