Thomas E. Clark, award-winning landscape architect who led the design of golf courses inside the Village is our guest today.
Tom began his career in 1971 with Ault, Clark & Associates, Ltd., based in Marshall, Virginia. With a career spanning over 50 years, he has built and renovated hundreds of courses around the world. Early in his career, Tom became the go-to course architect for Cooper Development, the developer of Hot Springs Village. He has also served as a past President of the American Society of Golf Course Architects.
Beltway Golfer podcast recorded a 2-part conversation with Tom in March 2021 that may interest you. He talks about his career and a golf course project that took over 20 years. Here are the links: part 1 | part 2
We could talk with Tom for hours. Today’s show ended with many questions remaining unanswered — but that’s hopefully temporary because Tom has agreed to come back. Enjoy today’s show.

Hey Randy,
I loved the podcast interview with Tom Clark. I work in the golf industry as a golf irrigation consultant and was not aware of Tom’s contribution to our courses. I live in Cortez Courts net to the Cortez club house and love the views from the clubhouse. I actually found Tom from his work at Shangri La in NE Oklahoma and that lead me to this podcast.
I don’t live in HSV full time yet but in a few years, we plan on moving up full time. I can still do my golf irrigation design and if needed, fly out of Little Rock, not as convenient as DFW but I will make it work.
I am a work in progress as far as golf, but we also kayak and scull (row), so the smaller lakes (Desoto, Cortez and Coronado, were a big draw for us.
So, I just wanted to thank you for the great interview with Tom.
P.S. I signed up for the newsletter and joined the Facebook and I am looking forward to seeing more from you.
Dan Gregg, PLA
Glad to have you here, Dan. Happy you found us. Tom is a wealth of information! Keep us updated on the progress of making the move to HSV.
