Billy’s passion for golf course design and management began at North Carolina State University where he graduated with an emphasis on Turfgrass Management.  From there he served at a series of courses as Golf Course Superintendent and/or Director of Golf Course Maintenance Operations, including Seabrook Island Golf Club (Charleston, S.C.), Wildewood Country Club (Columbia, S.C.), Palmetto Dunes golf Club (Hilton Head Island, S.C.), Kiawah Island Resort (Kiawah Island, S.C.) and Augusta National Golf Club (Augusta, Georgia).

 

It was under his direction at Augusta National that the conversion from Bermudagrass to the faster more competitive Bentgrass was completed. He also received vast experience in new construction, course renovations, and grow-in at the above-mentioned facilities as each course underwent either new construction or extensive renovations.

 

He has also served as General Manager through the startup and establishment of Port Armor Golf & Country Club at Lake Oconee, Georgia (now known as Reynolds Landings, owned by Reynolds Plantation).  He was responsible for the entire operations of the club, which went on to attain the ranking of #2 in the state of Georgia, ranked behind #1 Augusta National, as voted by several state and national publications.

 

Having developed such extensive experience in the construction and grow-in phases of golf development, Billy turned his focus to design and development firm.   He left Augusta National, in good standing, to consult full time with golf course designers on post-construction programs as related to design and construction.  

 

Not long after, he joined Cupp Design as the Senior Agronomist and Design Associate.  At Cupp, Billy participated in the design, construction and launch of over 130 new courses including Liberty National and Pumpkin Ridge.

 

In 2004, Billy founded his own successful design company and has worked on many renovations while maintaining his consulting business.

 

Billy is the inventor of “Billy Bunkers” now in use at over 500 courses nationwide.  

 

Billy is an associate member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects and has been a member of the Georgia Golf Course Superintendent’s Assoc since 1981.  He is also a member of GCSAA since 1972 and is an an occasional  contributor to GCSAA’s Golf Course Management magazine and a frequent speaker at local, regional, and national turf industry gatherings and student programs.

 

He lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife and son.
