Tennessee Golf Association executive director Chad Anderson interviews golf course architect Bill Bergin. 

A Georgia native with a business degree from Auburn University, Bill spent six years playing professionally. He played the world’s best golf courses as a touring professional, gained an understanding of club operations and the ability of the everyday player as a teaching professional, and acquired technical design experience under the guidance of noted designer Bob Cupp. Since founding Bergin Golf Designs in 1994, Bergin has combined his strategic instincts and design experience with a dedication to detail in project management.

Bill has left his mark on many golf courses on Tennessee, beginning with his redesign of Chattanooga Golf and Country Club.  Among his original designs are the Lakes and Links courses at Tennessee Grasslands in Gallatin.  He has also done extensive work at Chickasaw Country Club and Mirimichi in Memphis, Fox Den Country Club in Farragut, The Honors Course in Ooltewah, and Toqua in Loudon.

Among his current projects are a 12-hole course in Oak Ridge and redesign work at Richland Country Club and Brentwood Country Club.
