Tom Fazio has designed more golf courses that have ranked in the Top 100 Golf Courses in the United States than any other golf course designer. Most of the courses he has designed are in the continental United States. This was not by accident but rather due to a devotion to his family. He is a very devoted family man and wanted to be there as his children were growing up. He wanted to attend all their sports activities and other things that kids do.
The quality of his work can be seen in the clients that make up his list of employers. Tom Fazio is the most in-demand architect in the world. His headquarters in North Carolina has an unlisted telephone number.
