PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Florida (October 12, 2016) – Bobby Weed Golf Design (www.bobbyweed.com) announces the launch of its redesigned, enhanced website. With enriched features and graphics, the new site highlights the important design work Weed and his team have originated and continue to produce throughout the U.S.
“We believe the newly-designed site genuinely reflects our design philosophy and history, as well as the array of premier projects it is our privilege to create,” said Bobby Weed, president & CEO of Bobby Weed Golf Design.
The updated site features heightened functionality and visual consistency across all user interfaces (desktop, laptop, tablet, phone). It showcases the considerable accomplishments and nationally prominent projects completed over the last four decades, accentuating the firm’s design work through easy-to-access high-resolution photography of completed courses. And it underscores Bobby Weed Golf Design’s unique approach to its work and Weed’s foundational relationship with mentor Pete Dye.
Bobby Weed Golf Design engaged Zeekee Interactive (https://zeekeeinteractive.com), an award-winning media company, to create its newly-designed website.
The website address remains unchanged: www.bobbyweed.com.

His work features a balance of visual appeal, sustainability and playability, all informed by an environmentally-sensitive aesthetic and an exceptional hands-on, holistic approach.

Repurposing helps clubs and communities preserve golf while surmounting economic and other challenges. Weed’s skill, vision and business acumen coalesce to result in successful, refined and durable golf course design.
Weed began his professional career with an extended apprenticeship with Pete Dye, launching a collaboration of over 35 years’ duration and a lifelong friendship. Hired in 1983 by the PGA Tour, Weed was the Tour’s in-house designer from 1987-1996. He was responsible for the design of many of today’s best-known TPC venues, which continue as host sites for prominent Tour events.
Weed also was able to collaborate with many of golf’s most familiar names, including Sam Snead, Gene Sarazen, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Raymond Floyd, Jerry Pate and Chi Chi Rodriguez – a rare cross section of experience.
In 1994, Weed’s career reached an apex with the formation of his own design firm, where he continues to “handcraft” golf courses. Today, Bobby Weed Golf Design has amassed an impressive list of new and renovated courses that consistently are ranked at the top of their respective categories, including The Olde Farm Golf Club, Spanish Oaks Golf Club, The Golf Course at Glen Mills, Medalist Golf Club and Timuquana Country Club.
