Steve Weisser

Steve Weisser is a native of Austin, Texas and an avid golfer from an early age. Steve entered Texas A&M University to pursue a degree in Landscape Architecture with an emphasis on golf course design. While a student at Texas A&M, Steve was a design intern with the golf course architectural firm of Dick Nugent Associates in Long Grove, Illinois.

Following his graduation in 1989 with Bachelor of Science degree in Landscape Architecture, Steve went to Oxford, England to take a design position at Hawtree Limited, the world's longest continuous golf course design practice. During this period, Steve had the opportunity to extensively study the historic golf courses of Britain. Steve met Rees Jones during the construction of the Oxfordshire Golf Club and subsequently accepted an offer to return to the United States to become a designer for Rees Jones, Inc.

Since joining Rees Jones, Inc. in 1991, Steve has been involved in the design or redesign of numerous award winning golf courses throughout the United States and abroad. Among Steve's projects of note are the Upper and Lower Courses at Baltusrol Golf Club (Springfield, NJ), Course 3 at Medinah Country Club (Medinah, IL), Club de Golf Santander (Boadilla, Spain) and The Golf Club at Briar's Creek (Johns Island, SC).

Steve became an Associate Member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA) in 2001 and was elected a Regular Member in 2004. He is also a licensed landscape architect.
