Episode 110 - Mike Clayton Talks Course Design, Love for Golf & Winning in Europe!

This week on the Your Golf Performance Podcast, I’m joined by one of the most respected minds in golf course architecture — Mike Clayton.
A former winner on the European Tour and now a world-renowned course designer, Mike brings a unique perspective shaped by decades of experience both playing and designing at the highest levels. We dive into the stories behind some of his most iconic projects, including Barnbougle Dunes and Seven Mile Beach, and explore what makes a golf course truly great.
Mike also reflects on his playing days during the Seve Ballesteros era, sharing what he learned competing against some of the game's legends — and how those lessons now influence his design philosophy.
Whether you're a golfer, coach, or architecture enthusiast, this is a must-listen episode full of insight, history, and passion for the game.
