After competing at the junior and collegiate levels, Dana Fry had his first taste of golf course construction with Tom Fazio’s project at Ventana Canyon Golf & Racquet Club in 1983, eventually accepting a full-time position as a shaper at Fazio Golf Course Designers, Inc. After establishing a strong background in earthmoving and shaping during his time with Tom Fazio, Fry extended the arc of his career by developing a keen understanding of the environmental aspects of golf-course design during his years working with Dr. Michael Hurdzan, where he began in 1988, became a partner in 1997 and continued to hone his craft.  The many projects to which Fry has dedicated his design expertise have attracted renown and accolades, including such venues as Devil’s Pulpit, Devil’s Paintbrush, Calusa Pines Golf Club, Naples National Golf Club, Desert Willow Golf Resort, Keystone Resort (River Course), Raven at Three Peaks Golf Club, Glenmaura National, Hamilton Farm Golf Club, Shelter Harbor Golf Club, Philadelphia Cricket Club, Ironhorse Golf Club, Tycoon Golf Club, The Ledges of Huntsville Mountain, FarmLinks Golf Club, Willow Point Golf Course, Le Diable Golf Course and Westwood Plateau Golf Course. Fry’s rich and varied experience, both as an accomplished golfer and as a passionate artistic golf-course designer, has resulted in his philosophy of a personalized, active hands-on approach to every project he undertakes. Now, as he turns his attention to global design opportunities, Fry amplifies his imprint and legacy in the world of golf-course architecture.  He is now a principal of Fry/Straka Global Golf Course Design.
