Since its inception, HPR has enjoyed working relationships with some of the most respected golf course architects and design firms in the world.

Through the years, the list has included the legendary names of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones, Jr. and Greg Norman. Other designers include several whose image has been enhanced by HPR: Jim Engh, Ron Forse, Gene Bates and, most notably, John Fought.

Throughout 2007, HPR created media anticipation for world-class competition on Fought courses that landed the former U.S. Amateur Champion on the cover of Golfweek magazine. The outreach also made Fought the center of attention in numerous magazine and newspaper feature stories, including Sports Illustrated. In the process, Fought's profile in the industry is rising and he has become one of the most highly sought-after architects in the business.

HPR's understanding and appreciation for the golf course architect is shown in many ways. It certainly was evident in its outreach for the Old Course at Bedford Springs Resort, which reopened in 2007. Working side-by-side with Forse Design, HPR combed through historical information in order to shed light on the significance of resurrecting the course with holes designed by Spencer Oldham (1895), A.W. Tillinghast (1912) and Donald Ross (1923). Forse, whose meticulous dedication to restoring classic courses is highly respected, garnered Restoration of the Year honors from Golf Inc. for the Bedford Springs project.

In contrast, HPR showed its versatility by working with Donald Trump, whose signature as a golf course designer often materializes in Disneyesque waterfalls. HPR nonetheless provided Trump with perfectly executed media strategies that resulted in his courses being more universally accepted and awarded by the media.

And the HPR beat goes on: Among its newer clients is Phil Mickelson Design, in conjunction with the firm's first project, River Rock, outside of Asheville, North Carolina.
