Todd Eckenrode - Origins Golf Design

Thrilled to launch our new Website. Please check it out! originsgolfdesign.com

Couldn’t be more excited to see this week’s LPGA Fortinet Founders Cup at Sharon Heights G&CC! Chad and crew have it looking and playing amazing. Stunning photos here from @CBenjaminPhoto offer a sneak peak. Check it out on The Golf Channel Thur-Sun from 3:00-6:00 PST !

@pb_n_joe @TheQuailCA Couldn't agree more!

With neighbors like Pebble, Cypress and MPCC getting all the attention, The Quail is a sleeper course in the Carmel Valley. Immaculate conditions and gentle rolling hills a few miles inland make for an enjoyable walk (and consistently warmer weather)

As we close the books on another year, we are grateful for the landscapes we've shaped and the rounds we've inspired. Whether you are on the tee box or by the fireside, we wish you a wonderful holiday season and clear fairways in 2026. Sincerely – Todd, Charlie and Andy

Underway at the historic Annandale Golf Club (opened in 1906!) Great start with @LaBarGolf & @GHmgmtgroup & talented shapers in Mark, @BenMalach and Matt. Full scope of renovation plus select restorative work from William P. Bell’s re-design of the mid 1920’s. Away we go!

Had a great time joining Derek Duncan @feedtheball on his podcast (finally). Thanks for your patience Derek!

@ULCofSFCC @CBenjaminPhoto @garrett_TFE @AndyTFE @feedtheball @ncga1901 @AdamSchupak Thank you!

@OriginsGolf @CBenjaminPhoto @garrett_TFE @AndyTFE @feedtheball @ncga1901 @AdamSchupak Fully deserved ! Congratulations!!!

Thrilled to see our project at Sharon Heights G&CC win Renovation of the Year - Private Club category from Golf Inc. What a transformative project! We are appreciative of all the hard work and talent from the entire team and club leadership. Great photos by @CBenjaminPhoto

@Evan_Schiller @PasatiempoGolf @HochsteinDesign Great shots Evan! Agree, par-3's are amazingly diverse and fantastic! A special course...

Another brilliant day at @PasatiempoGolf ...perhaps the greatest collection of par 3's on any one golf course. @HochsteinDesign

@andrewjcarr29 @Top100Rick Thank you Andrew. We are hopeful of course to do more of the Master Plan in the future and are very happy with how Hole 11 turned out, restored to original design.

@Top100Rick That green looks different from when I was last there. How's the rest of @OriginsGolf work look there? His Master Plan looked incredible and this also looks terrific!

It’s been a long 6 weeks without a golf trip. Time to get on the grind again. An Alister MacKenzie hidden gem is a good way to start! 😍

@walkinggolfer @Evan_Schiller @GHmgmtgroup @Hertz_golf @mikemagnani30 Thanks Rob! A special course for sure.

@OriginsGolf @Evan_Schiller @GHmgmtgroup @Hertz_golf @mikemagnani30 Such a wonderful course! You did great work there. Some of the best greens that I've ever had the joy to roll it on. Pure greens and a super fun walk.

Another 'Featured Project' from our website highlighting Max Behr's great Lakeside Golf Club! Incredible pics by @Evan_Schiller A wonderfully fun course, unlike any other in Socal, conditions always firm & fast. Check it out on our website (link in bio) for more. Love Lakeside!

@ULCofSFCC Looking great there on #11!
