With the possibility of a career in professional ice hockey cut short by a serious eye injury, Robinson turned to his other great love, golf ( ... he was a scratch golfer in his prime). He found his way into golf course architecture, where a couple of early internships with Robert Trent Jones (Snr) confirmed he was on the right path.

After graduating from Penn State with a degree in landscape architecture in 1964, Robinson went to work for the unconventional mentor who would influence the rest of his career, Geoff Cornish of Amherst, Massachusetts. A full partner with Cornish from 1977 until setting up on his own in 1982, Robinson would work on almost 300 golf course designs, redesigns and renovations until he retired in 2005. Much of his work, with some notable exceptions, was concentrated in western Canada (BC and Alberta) and the northwest USA (Oregon and Washington).

Between 1975 and 1979, Bill's younger brother John F. Robinson, who had previously worked for William Newcomb Associates, came to work as a design associate in Bill's firm. After John left to establish his design firm, the two brothers continued to collaborate on several golf course projects.
