Who We Are
For those newer to the RGD family, some history worth knowing.
Tom Doak, the founder of Renaissance Golf Design, passed the reins to the team some time ago. He is no longer part of daily operations. Tom remains the founder of this organization and a friend to every RGD associate.
The firm today is led by Brian Schneider, Eric Iverson, Don Placek, and Brian Slawnik — four designers who each spent 15 to 20 years learning the craft in the field before stepping into leadership. Shaping and routing courses across Tasmania, New Zealand, Scotland, Colorado, and Michigan will do that to a person; by the time you've walked enough properties, you stop imposing ideas on the land and start finding what's already there. That's what these four do, and it's what Renaissance Golf Design has always been about.
