These days Dana Fry is cashing checks written by several Chinese development groups, as he has a course that's recently opened, another that’s set to break ground, and three in planning.
Fry’s 18-hole track at CTS Tycoon (Shenzhen) Golf Club in Guangdong Province opened in April, and work is expected to start on his course at Oak Valley Golf Club on Hainan Island this summer.
The Columbus, Ohio-based architect, a principal of Hurdzan Fry Environmental Golf Design, has also designed a 27-hole complex for Phoenix Hill Golf Club, just outside Huzhou in Zhejiang Province. The club will be built in Anji County, a place best-known for its bamboo groves.
Fry also expects to design three 18-hole courses for the Pai Hu resort community in Xiantao, a city of about 250,000 in Hubei Province, in central China. Pai Hu, which has been master-planned by DTJ Design of Boulder, Colorado, will have houses, several hotels, meeting space, and a shopping area.
Fry has also been hired to design another course in China -– Peninsula Golf Course near Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province -– as well as courses in Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, Italy, France, and Brazil.
Dana Fry does not design courses. He is just a salesman for the company. All the actual designing is done by real architects in the US.
