Johnny Miller

Johnny Miller was known as one of the most accurate ball strikers on the PGA Tour. His remarkable round of 63 during the 1973 US Open is still the lowest final round shot by a winner.

True to this accuracy, many of the courses that Johnny Miller designs are target golf courses. Johnny Miller founded his golf design company in 1984. Since that time he has tested golfers with some of the most demanding golf courses anywhere. Miller tries to design golf courses that best suit the individual needs of what the owner envisions.

Johnny Miller has one golf course here in Las Vegas, NV. The Badlands Golf Club is one of the most challenging courses the valley has to offer. Sculpted out of the barren desert landscape, this course requires all the clubs in your bag.

As with most golf designers, Miller has kept up with the pace of making the golf courses longer and longer. A perfect example of this is the Thanksgiving Point Golf Club in Lehi, UT. This course stretches to an amazing 7,700 yards from the back tees.

Other courses designed by Johnny Miller include Binks Forest Golf Club, Entrada at Snow Canyon and Due Process Stable Golf Club.
