At Pizá Golf®, we push the craft of golf course design, demanding more from ourselves on behalf of our clients. We bring each new site to life with velvet greens, coarse sands, towering pines, and strategic twists.
Since 2006, we have sculpted award-winning golf courses from mountain, desert, valley, and jungle, designing elegant challenges that invigorate players and live in harmony with the land.
We are artists, and our medium is the natural world. We create innovative golf course designs in a range of climates and elevations by fusing artistic curiosity and ecological sensitivity with strategic gameplay.
Under the leadership of Agustín Pizá, Pizá Golf® have been involved in more than eighty unique projects across three continents—from elite private clubs to five-star resorts and destination golf communities.
Agustín is a pioneering force in modern golf course architecture—and the visionary behind original concepts like WellnessGolf®, Multipurpose Golf, and Butterfly Golf® that deepen the player’s connection with rhythm, nature, and the spirit of the game.
He earned a Master’s of Science in Golf Course Architecture from the University of Edinburgh and a Bachelor of Architecture from ITESM in Monterrey, Mexico. Mr. Pizá is a member of the European Institute of Golf Course Architects (EIGCA), the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA), and The American Institute of Architects (AIA).
The Foundation
A young passionate dreamer, Agustín Pizá, steps into the world of golf design during the construction of Palmilla, El Dorado, and Querencia in Los Cabos, Mexico. Those early years on site ignite his passion for the art of shaping land and inspire a lifelong dedication to developing the skill of golf development.
The Calling of Design
After six formative years mastering construction and project management, Pizá pursues his Master’s in Golf Course Architecture at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. This moment transforms a builder into an architect — and sets the course for a visionary career.
The Birth of Pizá Golf®
Pizá establishes his firm in Puerto Vallarta. The studio immediately collaborates on world-class projects such as Punta Mita, Vidanta, and Puerta Cortés — blending quality, creativity, precision, and respect for nature.
The First Signature Course
Club Campestre Tampico becomes the firm’s first solo design: a masterpiece built on a man-made island. It marks the beginning of Pizá Golf’s independent architectural language.
Creativity Expands
At Hacienda Jalmolonga we introduce the idea of multipurpose golf — six greens and 18 unique hole combinations. A new way of thinking: less resource, more fun.
International Recognition and Awards
Las Parotas opens in Huatulco, Mexico, earning international honors for sustainability and design. It places Pizá Golf® among the world’s most innovative studios.
The Era of Wellness Golf®
Golf meets mindfulness. The launch of Wellness Golf® integrates play, nature, and well-being — transforming golf into a holistic lifestyle at Chablé Resort.
The Pit 2020 – Golf Lounge
The Pit Golf Lounge breaks boundaries between art, sport, and social experience. Featured in 13 countries and six languages, it becomes a new symbol of design freedom and standard.
Butterfly Golf® Takes Flight
A new course model emerges: Butterfly Golf®, a revolutionary routing system designed for versatility, community, and connection with nature. It redefines how golf can be played and shared.
A Global Vision
The firm opens its U.S. headquarters in San Diego, California, establishing Pizá Golf® as a binational creative studio serving clients across continents.
Virtual Reality
Pizá Golf® collaborates with TGL (Tomorrow Golf League), creating never-before-seen virtual golf holes for top tour players.
Other collaborations include Golf+ since 2020.
20 Years of Pizá Golf®
A celebration of two decades of creativity, purpose, and passion — where every design continues to honor our belief.

A golf course is a living being.
We carve each one from the earth with reverence for coastal grasses, wind-sculpted trees, and ancient cacti stands that have called the land home for generations.
Each design is guided by the principles of rhythm, balance, movement, and harmony — shaped not only for the joy of the game, but for the long-term success of the communities, resorts, and landscapes we serve.
From individual holes to master-planned destinations, we collaborate across disciplines — from architecture and agronomy to ecology and engineering — to create immersive golf environments that honor the land and inspire play.
What we leave out is as vital as what we weave in. Our commitment to balanced density and environmental integrity ensures that every course preserves open space for nature and its inhabitants, blending artistry with ecological intention.
