WHO WE ARE
About Us
Quitno Golf Designs, Inc. is a Midwest-based firm dedicated to the advancement of golf course design, redevelopment and the long-term growth of the game. All of our work at QGD is diverse in its scope, but united by one common goal: providing simple, elegant solutions that make our clients successful.
EARLY BEGINNINGS
In 1996, with a Bachelors degree in Landscape Architecture from Ball State University, Todd Quitno joined the firm of Lohmann Golf Designs, Inc. as a design associate where he learned the nuances of golf course architecture from firm founder and mentor, Bob Lohmann. With the golf construction boom happening at the time, things were busy at LGD and Todd was quickly elevated to Senior Project Architect where he led both new course and renovation projects for the next two decades. In 2018, Todd was promoted to Partner and Senior Vice President of Design, advancing the future direction of the company and prompting a change of company name to Lohmann Quitno Golf Course Architects, Inc.
Todd is an active member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects
In July 2022, following the retirement of Mr. Lohmann, Todd began his own firm, Quitno Golf Designs, Inc., to carry on the exemplary work of his predecessor and continue growing the game of golf. Specializing in both new golf course design and renovation, at QGD we understand the ever-changing demands of the public and private golf markets and champion the idea of golf course improvements that maximize long-term returns. At QGD, we believe sustaining the game for future generations means delivering compelling architecture that is efficient to maintain and accessible for all user types.
MAKING GOLF BETTER BY MAKING BETTER GOLF
What animates our work the most these days is a continual effort to adapt to changes in the industry (styles, equipment, environment, etc.) and a simple desire to make the game better through meaningful, effective course improvements. There’s a new emphasis in golf design that has the industry focused on time and fun, because that is what golfers want… to play golf on courses that take less time, to have an experience that makes them feel good, to be outside with family and friends, and to have those experiences over and over at a price they can afford.
THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS NO. 1
Customer service can be the difference between beating the competition and lagging behind. We stress that with our clients’ in their approach to operations and believe it is the hallmark of our own work. Our goal is to always provide service that makes our clients want to come back and do business with us again, and we have a long list of highly-satisfied, repeat clients in both the Public and Private markets, some stretching over three decades.
