McDonald & Sons names new Northeast regional director, adds to design team

McDonald & Sons has promoted Mike Tilleli from project manager to Northeast regional director.

Tilleli has successfully handled the company’s New York metro area projects for several years. The company saw the necessity to align its management team with the regional coverage.

“We have seen a steady increase in the volume of projects in the last several years, especially in the Northeast. Mike’s ability to manage all aspects of our golf construction model and looking to expand beyond the New York Metro area we gave him a title commensurate with that level of responsibility,” said John McDonald II, vice president of McDonald & Sons. “Mike’s expertise and hustle along with his experienced crew makes him a favorite of the Clubs and Golf Architects he works with.”

McDonald & Sons is a premier golf course builder in the U.S. and has been in business since 1984. McDonald & Sons has been a Certified Builder with the Golf Course Builders Association of America since 1990, as well as one of only 50 charter members.

McDonald Design Group has also added John Douglas, professional landscape architect (PLA), to the design team.

Douglas brings with him a more and varied set of skills to an already established team.

“We are delighted to have John join our team,” said John McDonald II. “His years of landscape architecture experience will be a great addition to our design services. With as many design/build projects that we are involved in adding an additional team member with those talents was needed.”

McDonald Design Group was formed in 2002 out of a need for thoughtful golf course master planning and renovation design services.
