We are proud of how many courses rank highly and strive for five stars every time.”

Feel free to contact Annie Creek at McKissock at annie.creek@mckissock.com if you have any requests or questions.
To highlight the land surveying profession in an entertaining way, McKissock also recently released a meme-inspired video called “What is a Land Surveyor?”. The video takes a humorous look at what people think land surveyors do versus what they actually do on a daily basis.
