Muirfield Village Golf Club

Smith & Hale LLC represented Jack Nicklaus in developing the crown jewel of the world famous golfer's course designs, Muirfield Village Golf Club. Located in Dublin, Ohio, and ranked in the top 25 list of America's greatest golf courses as ranked by Golf Digest, Muirfield annually hosts the PGA Tour's Memorial golf tournament. The course is the centerpiece of one of the most recognizable residential communities in Central Ohio, Memorial Village, which contains nearly 2,500 homes.

Nicklaus engaged Smith & Hale to represent him in developing a special golf course and community near his hometown of Columbus, Ohio. Having acquired a large amount of acreage in rural northwest Franklin County, the execution of this plan required creativity and expertise that only Smith & Hale could provide. The firm took on responsibility for most of the major issues facing the project, by providing valuable advice regarding the eventual master planning of the community, obtaining commitments to extend utility service to the development, and securing land entitlements that have provided the flexibility necessary for it to meet its full potential. Today, Muirfield Village is one of the most recognizable communities in the state.
