MiStory #28 Chris Wilczynski & the Wilczynski Family
Published on 11/10/2025
Christopher Wilczynski is a member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA) and the owner of C.W. Golf Architecture, located in Saline, MI. Combining his love for architecture and nature, Chris followed in his father’s footsteps and attended Michigan State University where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Landscape Architecture in 1994, and later went on to pursue his career in golf course architecture. He is grateful for his hardworking, supportive family and his humble upbringing in the rural village of Blissfield, MI which has kept him grounded yet motivated to pursue his dreams.
Chris’ father Michael Wilczynski, a former golf course superintendent and sales professional in the golf industry encouraged him to apply for his first job at Arthur Hills & Associates (Toledo, OH) in 1987 – an opportunity that would pave the way to his future.
Now Chris's son Joe has joined the family business after his education in the MSU Turfgrass Program.
