"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."

Michael Bowker
Sacramento Magazine, March 2001

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

Business Golfer Magazine

"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."

Paul Forsyth

"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

"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."
