Cashmore formed Cashmore Golf Design
(CGD)inAustralia30yearsago.Withadeep
passionforgolf,andenjoyingasuccessful
international career as an architect, Tony
saw a need for professionally-designed
golf courses which respect site values,
in answering the growth in residential
golf course estates and resort projects
being developed at the time.
The success ofTony’s early projects led to
engagements from many private Clubs
and owners of pay-for-play golf venues
to undertake revisions to their courses
and clubhouses, often amounting to
full masterplanning and extensions to
existing golf terrains and buildings.

Tony Cashmore has lectured in course design and
construction methods, including engineering, drainage,
and irrigation techniques, and is the President of the
Society of Australian Golf Course Architects.

CGD have been involved with over 70 golf courses internationally.
Our global experience has armed us with a wealth of problem-solving
techniques, across an incredibly diverse range of terrains and we are
well equipped to provide design solutions for golf courses planned
anywhere in the world.
CGD is being sought out by developers from all over the world,
because of our award winning courses that have gained international
recognition and our reputation for delivering the highest quality
golf courses at affordable prices, on time and on budget.

CGD is well equipped and has vast experience in designing and documenting masterplans for the interface of beautiful golf courses
withinthebroadercommunity. Carefulattentionispaidtoensuringasenseofcommunityismaintainedthroughtheentiredevelopment.
The masterplanning process we undertake will address in great detail all routing, planning and technical matters required to respect
all other existing elements, and those being developed. Our long experience in masterplanning of the entire golf related development
is often what sets us apart from our competitors. We understand the importance of careful planning of the interface between the golf
course, its clubhouse and any planned residential, resort or other developments.
CGD’s specialist capabilities include:
• Golf Course Planning, Design and Construction
Monitoring
• Masterplanning for Resort and Residential
Facilities
• Landscape Design for golf related developments
• Environmentally sustainable design
• Advice on Golf Clubhouse Design

Another key differentiation between our company and most
other golf design groups is that Tony Cashmore remains the
major designer and supervisor for construction for each project,
whereas other‘name’companies normally have assistants develop
the course design, and attend site during construction.

3. Our Design Methodology
The Dunes, Mornington Peninsula
Hole 13

17
Our approach to golf course design is simple: to allow the flow of the
landonanysitetodeterminethecourseroutingasnaturallyaspossible,
and then to use all available ground elements – ridges, swales, spurs,
trees and vistas to create golf holes with great individuality, visual
beauty, and strategic flexibility.
We like to touch the land gently, and construct elements as broadly
as possible, so that the finished terrain looks as though it was always
there in nature, waiting to be mown; to bring golfers to tees in such a
way that the next golf hole is suddenly exposed as a ‘vision splendid’
for them, with everything laid out beautifully before them; and to have
golfers of all skill and strength levels, having a drink in the clubhouse
after their game, wanting to come back again and again, because the
golf was fun, fascinating and satisfying.
Our approach to client service is similarly flexible and open minded.
Many of our previous clients have become close personal friends. This
has occurred as we like to work very closely with our clients and adopt
a very flexible attitude in our approach to delivering our services. We
listen carefully to our client’s wishes and are always willing to respond
to changing requirements.
Over the past 30 years, we have developed our proven methodology
for the design and implementation process of golf course related
projects. Our comprehensive 8 Stage Design Process, distinguishes
us from other companies and ensures the best possible golf course is
created for every site.

TheCGD8-StageDesignProcessisoutlinedbelowandcanbetailoredto
suitthespecificneedsofourclients. Thisprocesswillensurecompletion
of deliverables outlined in the Invitation to Tender Document under
Scope of Works for Package A.
Stage 1: Preliminary Discussions
• Create open communication channels so that your needs
are clearly detailed and formulated into a brief.
• Ensure we understand what you need, the timeframes
you require and the expected budgets for the project.
Stage 2: Concept Planning
• Prepare initial ideas and concept plans for the site.
• Participate in additional meetings with various
stakeholders to establish further ideas of what may be
required.
• Respond quickly in preparing drawings and delivering
presentations that are often required by the client project
team and local Government.
• Provide advice on other aspects of the project including
general landscaping, building and villa concepts, road
infrastructure, construction methods and delivery.

19
Stage 3: Design Development
• Present additional design options and refine concept
plans to reflect further thinking
• Seekfinalfeedbackandsupportfromyourteamsothatthe
final design ideas and concepts meet all requirements.
• Achieve final sign-off of all concept designs from you and
your key stakeholders.
Stage 4: Masterplan
• Achieving this stage indicates that the Design
Development has been successful and that the plans are
finalized.
• We provide detailed reports on our overall site planning
methodology and how the planned golf course will
integrate with its surroundings.
• Detailed Masterplan drawings are prepared and
provided to your team and other key stakeholders such
as Government representatives.
• These Masterplans are formally agreed so we can
commence detailed construction documentation.

20
Stage 5: Detailed Documentation
• It has often been said that our construction documentation is the
best in the industry.
• We prepare precise construction plans (all with GPS coordinates)
that are used extensively in the construction of your new course.
• Our documentation includes greens, tees and bunker plans down
to 0.25m contour intervals.
• We provide a detailed Construction Specification report that
describes the materials and standards that will be required for each
part of the construction process. This specification can be used to
issue tenders.
Stage 6: Construction Monitoring
• Inordertoensuredeliveryofthebestpossibleoutcomeforourclient,
it is essential that we monitor the construction of the project.
• This is achieved through regular site visits by one (or more) of our
senior golf architects. The timing of these visits is determined after
development of the construction program. This helps to identify
the likely timing of key milestones throughout the process at which
point site visits will be necessary. We remain flexible in the timing
of our visits.
• Theregularityofoursitevisitssetsusapartfromourcompetition. We
find a regular presence on site often leads to substantial reductions
in construction costs and delivers wonderful golf courses.

21
Stage 7: Grow-in Consultation
• In consultation with your appointed Superintendent, we proactively visit your golf course during and following the construction of
your project.
• Each site visit is followed up with a comprehensive report of our findings and includes recommendations.

22
Stage 8: Opening
• A very rewarding stage of the process. We will be
on-hand to celebrate the opening of your grand
vision and assist with any opening or promotional
speeches.
