Gilbert Hanse (born August 12, 1963) is an American golf course architect. Hanse, along with his business partner Jim Wagner, was selected to design the Rio 2016 Olympic Golf Course, the first Olympic venue to host golf since 1904.[1] Among other distinguished honors and awards, Hanse was selected as only the third American architect to build a golf course in Scotland when the Crail Golfing Society tapped him to design Craighead Golf Links.

Education

Hanse earned a master's in landscape architecture from Cornell University in 1989. Hanse was the recipient of the William Frederick Dreer Award, which allowed him to spend a year in Great Britain studying the history of golf architecture.[2]
