Who is Tony Cashmore?

Antony John Brooke Cashmore is a well-known Australian golf course architect. He is a past President of the Society of Australian Golf Course Architects.

Having graduated with a degree in architecture from the University of Melbourne in 1970, Tony began to specialise in golf course design over 30 years ago. In his younger days, Tony played off a single figure handicap at Kew Golf Club, a club at which he has been a member for over 50 years. Some of his early golf course designs include Goonawarra Golf Club, Melton Golf Club, Bright Golf Club and Yarrambat Park Golf Club all in Victoria, Australia and McCracken Country Club in South Australia.

In 1992, Cashmore's big break came when he was asked to turn his attention to the design of The Dunes Golf Links on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. He has created a fine links course there which is highly rated. Through his company, Cashmore Golf Design, Tony has designed such wonderful courses as 13th Beach in collaboration with world-famous golfer Nick Faldo and The Henley Course at The Heritage Golf and Country Club.
