Welcome to Fry/Straka

Worldwide Reach | Environmental Focus | Award-Winning Designs | Creative Distinction

Architects Dana Fry and Jason Straka formed Fry/Straka Global Golf Course Design in 2012, but they’ve been working together for the better part of 30 years. This partnership, inclusive of expert in-house staff and a worldwide network of trusted partners, seeks to serve clients who recognize tradition, environmental stewardship and cutting-edge technical prowess not as obligations, but as reliable, strategic, fruitful, honorable paths to opportunity, to creative distinction and market leadership. It helps that Dana and Jason thoroughly enjoy what they do. They love being on site with clients, maximizing the golfing potential and natural gifts of each and every project. These core beliefs enable Fry/Straka to deliver first-class service and a diversity of award-winning course designs time and time again, regardless of terrain, climate or budget.

Please take a moment to browse the information and photography here. Fry/Straka is proud of the team it has assembled, of the design philosophy that guides our work, of the 70-plus courses that embody all that we stand for — as a firm. What's more, please don’t be a stranger. We encourage you to bookmark this site and visit frequently, as we regularly add current projects, post news & offer insights on golf industry issues. Also be sure to follow us on social media (see below), where we tend to share even more timely stories/pictures from our wide-ranging travels.

Testimonials

“For Fry, every new golf course design is more of a masterpiece than the one he previously completed. Every project explores new territory, and Fry gives each one so much personal attention that is always spectacular, fresh, and often trend-setting.”

Gaylene Salomons, Naples Illustrated
"What hasn’t changed since day one is Straka’s focus on the environment. Seemingly every design firm talks the talk, but Straka has walked the walk since the 1990s."

Joe Passov, Sports Illustrated
"It’s still hard for me to understand how Dana’s conceptual vision works, how he can see what can happen to a golf hole before the earthwork even begins. It’s sort of amazing."

Hal Phillips, Golf Course Industry
"Over the last two decades, Jason Straka has been considered a leading global authority on sustainable golf course design."

John Failla, Founder Golf Sustainability
"In carving this course out of a bland barley field, Dana Fry ran the risk of producing golf’s equivalent of a game of Checkers. But his brilliant bunker placement and green contours elevate Arcadia Bluffs South to a game of three-dimension Chess."

Ron Whitten, Golf Digest
"Every golf-course design project undertaken by Fry/ Straka Global Golf Course Design assumes a position of great importance, as evidenced by the level of attention bestowed on each one."
