Robert has had the privilege of learning from the best and gained vast experience from his involvement in the industry over the past 25 years.

Robert’s travels around the world have taken him to many famous golf courses and tournaments. These include: The Australian Open; PGA and British Opens Turnberry, Lithium St. Anne’s and Birkdale.
Robert has a great understanding of the pleasure and the value of the game for all, whether you are a professional or the weekend golfer.

His career saw him begin as an apprentice on the pro tour and then move onto to become a Golf Course Superintendent. This has given him valuable exposure to all aspects of the game.  He ultimately moved onto the pinnacle of the business, which is being able to design and construct golf courses.

Working as the design coordinator and main contractor on a variety of projects has enabled him to formulate and create his own construction and design philosophies.

He has a sense of the site on which he is working and is able to read its subliminal messages. He is able to interpret nature’s message and knows how to work with the elements to develop a golf feature in harmony. This ethereal approach in his design philosophy is what results in the true success of the package.
