Calusa Pines Golf Club—Naples, FL

“I am pleased to recommend Darren J. Davis, CGCS, for agronomic and golf course operations consulting.
Darren was engaged at Calusa Pines Golf Club during the golf course construction phase, prior to the hiring of a full-time golf course superintendent. During this critical period, Darren played an instrumental role in guiding agronomic and operational decisions that continue to positively impact the Club today.
His scope of work extended well beyond traditional agronomic oversight. Darren was responsible for the design and planning of a state-of-the-art golf course maintenance facility, ensuring that both current operational needs and long-term efficiencies were fully considered. His experience and foresight were invaluable in creating a facility that supports best-in-class turf management and staff functionality.
In addition, Darren was actively involved in irrigation system design, working closely with the project team to ensure agronomic integrity, system efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
Darren also provided guidance on golf course equipment selection. His knowledge of equipment platforms and maintenance requirements was extremely valuable.
Throughout the project, Darren demonstrated exceptional professionalism, technical expertise, and leadership. He communicated effectively with ownership, the golf course architect and contractors always keeping the best interests of the Club at the forefront. His ability to bridge the gap between design, construction, and future operations is a rare and highly valuable skill.
I would highly recommend Darren J. Davis for any agronomic, golf course operations, or construction-phase consulting role. His experience, judgment, and commitment to excellence make him an outstanding resource for any golf facility seeking long-term success.”

"Darren J. Davis, CGCS was engaged during the pre-opening phase of the Golf Club of the Everglades, prior to the hiring of a golf course superintendent. His involvement during this critical period proved invaluable and played a significant role in the successful launch of the club.
Darren designed the golf course operations and maintenance facility with long-term efficiency and functionality in mind. He developed the initial capital and operating budgets, providing a clear financial roadmap from the outset, and led the selection of the golf course equipment package to ensure it aligned with both agronomic goals and day-to-day operational needs.
Throughout construction, Darren coordinated the design and installation of the irrigation system and worked closely with the design team and contractor to ensure the project progressed smoothly. His collaboration with golf course architects Rees Jones and Greg Muirhead helped translate design intent into effective on-site execution while maintaining momentum and accountability.
In addition, Darren led the search and hiring of the club’s golf course superintendent, ensuring continuity from construction through opening and positioning the club for long-term success. Since opening, Darren has remained a trusted resource, providing ongoing insight into daily operations and offering valuable perspective on special projects as they arise.
Darren’s experience, attention to detail, and collaborative approach made him an exceptional asset during this formative stage of the project. I would highly recommend him for golf course development, construction oversight, and agronomic consulting engagements."
