Steve Marnoch Golf Course Architect

A refreshed, more intuitive, and improved website is on its way

Although golfmarnoch consistently ranks high in searches, the site needs a clean, fresh upgrade for easier browsing across all platforms with fast load speeds.

The heart of golfmarnoch is Steve Marnoch who will always be your direct point of contact. You can reach out through the LinkedIn pages; a new Insta page with briefer day-to-day exploits will be forthcoming.

Steve Marnoch continues doing what he set out to do as a child: designing golf courses. Here are some current projects.

The Mere Golf Resort, Cheshire

Mere Golf Resort
Bunker and surrounds redesigns and upgrades on historic James Braid course for Select Group A.E. To be operated by Fairmont Hotels and Resorts.

Heelsum Golf Club, The Netherlands

Heelsum Golf Course
Creation of a classic heathland on an established 27-hole course. I have been on a constant retainer agreement ever since 2008. This resulted in the course being ranked No. 15 in the country with plans to rationalise the layout and add two new holes in 2026.

Pike Fold GC, North Manchester

Pike Fold Golf Club
Another long-standing relationship where I designed the original 9-holes in 1997, added another 9-holes in 2008 and now the course is impacted by the widening of the M60. This involves detailed negotiations with National Highways regarding current safety margins for golf courses, golf course compensation and internal course redesign.
