"Today, Phillips is helping pioneer a new style of naturalism. His inspiration comes from the great architects of the past. Phillips is a master at extending what nature gives him."

"Phillips' ethos is to create the most natural courses possible."

"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."

Golf Management Europe, August 2003
"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."
