Chris Cowan
Construction Superintendent/Lead Shaper
Chris is a master at bringing golf course designs to life, combining artistry with playability and sustainability. With 15+ years in the industry, he’s worked alongside top architects like Coore & Crenshaw and Rees Jones, shaping courses across the country.
His journey started on the maintenance side while studying Turf and Soil Science at NC State, but after years in course renovations—including a two-year, 18-hole rebuild—he found his true passion in shaping. Now, he’s using his expertise to make every Dail Golf project the best it can be.
And he doesn’t do it alone—his loyal sidekick, Birdie, is always by his side! So don’t be surprised if you see her supervising a project. We’re excited to have them both on board!
