Are you looking for short to mid-term help with freelance plan production, design, graphics or Civil Engineering?

Leaner and Meaner

There is little question that, in the golf design industry today, many organizations that were once large are now smaller. Smaller organizations are feeling the need to spend a great deal of their time developing business and maintaining relationships.  We’ve all had to become just a bit more resourceful and versatile to make a living as golf course architects.

You may require services or technology that you don’t have the time or expertise to learn.  Greengrass Engineering has expertise in the latest CAD and graphical software in addition to a network of associates that allow us to offer just about any computer-based or graphical deliverable that might be required.

Matt has the pulse of golf architecture. It begins with his background as a civil engineer and extends to his time in Scotland getting formal training. Add to this his trips across the British Isles to discover a deep appreciation for the soul of golf, and you have one terrific resource and loads of experience.
— Forrest Richardson, President of Forrest Richardson & Associates Golf Course Architects, ASGCA
In a world where recommendations seem to fly as often as my golf strokes or as airplanes landing, I offer this note of endorsement to identify Matt Schiffer as one of the best in our industry. He works in the industry for the right reason - to leave this game better than how he found it. He’s a student of architecture, and attempts to reflect this ideal in all of his work. He’s always learning, and brings this knowledge to those around him. He’s ready and able to get his hands dirty, and constantly shows his willingness to do so. I hope to have many more opportunities to work with Matt, either during the design phase, construction or grow-in. And, as always, playing the course together when it is complete.
— Andy Staples, President of Staples Golf Resources Group, ASGCA

Matt is a high quality, detail oriented individual with a tremendous ability to execute the details of the design utilizing the latest in computer tools for graphics and construction document preparation.

It has been a pleasure working with Matt whom we hired to help us with various engineering and graphical services on a number of golf course design projects we were and still are involved in. Matt is a great professional and a pleasure to communicate with - he is a good communicator, flexible to deal with and delivers great results on time and on budget. His skills are not only valuable to me - but also our clients.

With a solid background in the golf design industry and a good understanding of our requirements, Matt slotted seamlessly into my design team. Personable, professional, adaptable and very reliable, he helped me achieve the results I was after.
— Lyne Morrison, Owner of Lyne Morrison Golf Design, SAGCA
I am happy to provide a reference letter regarding the ability of Matt Schiffer. I was a colleague of his in the Golfplan office, which I founded in 1972. Matt performed very well in the technical matters of drawing preparation and design implementation. He was self-starting as needed and he could implement directives to create very high quality drawing results as was our company approach. Matt got along well with other staff members and was able to jointly solve deadline challenges. He had a firm focus on creating construction drawings or master layout plans that reflected the creative goals the drawings were meant to represent. His computer skills are excellent. I would have no reservations in considering the use of Matt’s experience and ability should the occasion arise in the future.
