Bob Cupp has a BA and a Masters in Fine Arts. He was a golf professional in the South Florida Section of the PGA in the 60’s and found that golf course design provided a natural way to combine his interests. Inside five years he was a Senior Designer for Jack Nicklaus, where he remained for fifteen years. Bob had the good fortune to be involved in many of Jack’s courses that have achieved distinction and recognition in the world of golf. In 1984, and with Jack’s blessing, Cupp Design was born. From that point forward, his name, as Bob says, became “a four-letter word.” Bob has won the “Best New Course Award” in Golf Digest on numerous occasions. Additionally, his courses have hosted many events including the US Open, US Amateurs and various PGA Tour Events, as well as the European Open. A number of his courses provoke instant recognition, such as Pumpkin Ridge near Portland, Oregon; Crosswater at Sunriver, Oregon; Old Waverly in West Point, Mississippi; Settindown Creek in Roswell, Georgia and East Sussex National near London, England.

Bob’s latest entry in Golf Digest’s “Top 100 Courses in America” is Hawk’s Ridge in Ball Ground, Georgia. In 1992, Bob was named the first ever ‘Designer of the Year’ in Golf World Magazine.
