Mike Strantz is a former associate of Tom Fazio and an advocate of the Mackenzie design philosophy of providing both visual stimulation and the ultimate in beauty. His partner is former PGA player Forrest Fezler, and together they created a memorable playing experience at Silver Creek.

Sadly, Mike passed away in June 2005 after a courageous battle with cancer. Now, his memory lives on each time we play his artistic remodel.
