"By transforming a patch of disused farmland six miles south of St. Andrews into the spectacular layout now known as Kingsbarns, Phillips has made his name as the designer who re-creates nature. He is literally altering the landscape of links golf in Scotland."

"History may well come to regard Phillips as the inspiration for the "natural" school of golf course architecture in that his creations give the impression that they have been laying dormant for centuries just waiting to be discovered."

Golf Management Europe, August 2003

The Grove

"A good design should help players experience the course with all their senses. Golfers should feel they're walking on a natural landscape. I like to create courses that look and feel old even though they're new."
