Since establishing his Golf Course Architecture firm in 1996, Barry has
been commissioned for work on more than 50 projects, including daily fee,
municipal, resort and private courses.
Born
and raised in Groton, Connecticut, Barry began his studies in Turfgrass Science and Landscape
Development at the State University of New York at Cobleskill. In 1983 he
began his career on the Maintenance Staff at the renowned Donald Ross designed Shennecossett
Golf Course in Connecticut. He went on to earn a Bachelor Degree in
Landscape Architecture at the State University of New York College of
Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY - ESF) at Syracuse, and worked
several years for Environmental Design & Research, PC. a Syracuse based
Landscape Architecture firm. He then obtained his license in Landscape
Architecture and completed graduate studies related to the field of Golf
Course Architecture. As part of his formal training, Barry traveled to
Scotland and Ireland to study and photograph the historical links courses.
His evaluation of these courses helped produce his environmental design
philosophy. This philosophy has enabled him to produce both strategic and
strikingly beautiful golf compositions that can be built and maintained at
an affordable budget. Barry has also taught design as a Visiting Instructor
in the Department of Landscape Architecture at SUNY - ESF and continues to
be a frequent lecturer and design critic for the University.
Today, Barry practices Golf Course Architecture
out of his Manlius, New York studio. Some of his current projects include:
The Lazy Swan Golf & Country Club, a new golf course set to open in the
spring of 2008 in Saugerties, New York; The Links at Barrow’s View, a new
course overlooking Skaneateles Lake in Borodino, New York; and in the
greater Rochester area, Champion Hill Country Club, a new golf course and
housing development in Victor, New York.
Current Master Planning projects include an
ongoing historic restoration of the Donald Ross classic, Teugega Country
Club in Rome, New York; a Comprehensive Master Plan for the Windsor Downs
Golf Club on Cat Cay, in the Bahamas; and an ecological re-design of Newman
Municipal Golf Course in Ithaca, New York.
