Jim Basiliere

Jim Basiliere, a Berkshire County native, has more than a decade of experience in the art of Shaping and Golf Course Construction. However, it could be said that golf is in his blood. Jim's grandfather held the world record for the youngest player to sink a hole in one. His Father was recognized as one of the best in the state as a young man. Add to this that fact his family has owned and operated a golf course for nearly fifty years, and it's easy to see why it's not just a sport but a way of life for him.

Beginning in the early 90's Jim began shaping his career in golf course construction. Understanding the value of being well rounded, he accepted positions around the country with many of the most well respected architects and builders in the industry. Learning from these varied experiences, and with a little help from his mentors, Jim developed a strong work ethic and an attention to detail that few can match.

Striving for perfection and originality, Jim started East Coast Shaping... With one goal in mind... TO HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE OF GOLF!!
