Current Work
PGA West - Mountain and Dunes Course La Quinta, California
Since opening in 1980 and 1981 these iconic Pete Dye greens on the Mountain and Dunes golf courses at PGA West had lost much of their character, losing their shape, size and definition. Tim led a restoration project to return the golf course greens back to their original glory.
The restoration was handled with great care and precision. Likened to an archaeological project uncovering many of the original aspects of the greens. Restoring them to their original size, shape and contour immediately brought back the wonderful sculptured quality of these unique set of greens. The work was performed by carefully hand digging around the bunkers and greens to discover the original green shapes and perimeters. Turf was then removed as well as layers of organic material which had built up over many years. The result of this careful restoration was immediate. Its former glory has been restored and the golf course’s unique greens are now resonating. The golf courses are planned to reopen in the Fall of 2023.

Marshwood Golf Course, The Landings, Skidaway Island, Georgia
Timothy Liddy remolded this original Arnold Palmer design in 2003 for the Landings Company on Skidaway Island, Georgia. A entirely new golf course was designed and constructed with new drainage, grassing, greens, bunkers and tees. Extensive meetings with the membership in the development of the Master Plan for the golf course was an essential part of the success of this project.
“The Marshwood Course combines many of the best elements of the other five courses. First of all, aesthetically, it has some of the better views of the marshes that envelop much of Skidaway Island, like on No. 2, where the green at the par 5 is framed beautifully by the ever-changing marsh colors. The greens are some of the best on the island, and some are huge and multi-tiered, with well-crafted slope and undulation.
What sets Marshwood apart are the mounds that border and influence many of the green surrounds. You don't have to fire at the flag repeatedly; you can use the mounds and humps around the greens to funnel your approach shots toward the hole. It can be a blast when you wield your 7-iron like a pool cue.”
"Marshwood is a fun golf course to play," Head Professional Jim Hazel said. "It's got a good mixture of long and short holes and it gets you out by the marsh. To me, it's one of my favorites."
Shepherd's Rock, Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, Farmland, Pennsylvania
