The mission of Gary Player Design is to conduct their business in the same manner in which Gary Player has conducted himself as a golfer and gentleman during his 50-year career.

From project conceptualisation through planning, design, construction, marketing and opening, the group takes a proactive role in providing experienced solutions throughout the intricate development process.
The company offers three different design brands: Gary Player Design, Player Design and Black Knight Design. The marketing advantages of each of these brands vary according to the personal participation of Player, as well as the access to different levels of intellectual property.
Gary Player Design also upholds a strict environmental policy, which includes minimizing site disturbance, promoting organic applications, and specifying environmentally-sensitive building materials in their golf course design approach. They continue to refine efforts in these areas and stay current on related state of the art industry methods.
Their primary focus, however, is on one of earth’s most precious resources and one of Gary Player's greatest concerns – water. According to Player, "Water conservation techniques are not only our fundamental responsibility, but are important to the industry of golf and the global growth of the wonderful game of golf, as real water-savings also mean real cost-savings."
With golf accepted back into the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2016, the worlds leading course designers responded to an official RFP and Gary Player Design was selected amongst the finalists in early December 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words golf and/or design:
“If there is any larceny in a man, golf will bring it out.”
—Paul Gallico (1897–1976)
“Humility is often only the putting on of a submissiveness by which men hope to bring other people to submit to them; it is a more calculated sort of pride, which debases itself with a design of being exalted; and though this vice transform itself into a thousand several shapes, yet the disguise is never more effectual nor more capable of deceiving the world than when concealed under a form of humility.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
