Fry/Straka Trio Honored Among the 21st Century’s Best
At Fry/Straka, one of our core values is "Creative Distinction"—creating golf courses with their own distinct personality that respect the natural land while providing a world-class test of the game.
We are thrilled to see this vision recognized by Golf Digest as three of our designs have earned their place among the elite in their latest ranking of the The 50 Greatest Courses Built Since 2000.
Fry/Straka Courses Honored in The LINKS 100
We are incredibly proud to announce that three of our signature designs have been recognized by LINKS Magazine in the inaugural LINKS 100, a definitive ranking of the top golf courses in the United States and the World.
Earning a spot on this list is a distinct honor, as the rankings are determined exclusively by the votes of our peers—the professional members of the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA), the European Institute of Golf Course Architects (EIGCA), and the Society of Australian Golf Course Architects (SAGCA).
Fry/Straka Lands Two of the Top 10 Private Short Courses per Golfweek
Welcome to the Golfweek’s Best 2025 ranking of the top par-3, short and non-traditional private golf courses in the United States. To acknowledge a recent and rapid rise in short courses, Golfweek’s Best introduced a ranking of these layouts in 2023. In 2024 we broke the category into two: public-access courses and private layouts.
Basically, they all fit the bill of not being a traditional-length, traditional-par course. And just like the best short courses, we threw out some of the rules used for rating traditional courses and asked our raters to submit one overall score for each course based on how much they enjoyed the design and the environment. Those individual ratings were then combined to form one average rating. Each course had to receive a minimum number of 10 votes.
