Contour Golf Design Group, Golf Course Architects

Contour Golf Design Group, Golf Course Architects Ben Davey, Director at Contour Design Group, started his career at Melbourne based Cashmore Golf Design in 1996. In 2009, he founded Davey Shearer Golf Design.

Contour Golf Design Group is an established golf course design company, providing golf course architecture, masterplanning and landscape design services across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. The company forged from strength to strength with China as its main target market. Bob Shearer, former Australian Open winner and US PGA tour player, was a significant factor in raising the profile of

the company in a country that was just learning about golf. Ben’s golf course design skills were finely tuned in response to the rigorous demands of China’s diverse topography and cultural requirements. Ben is a full member of the Society of Australian Golf Course Architects (SAGCA)
Contour Design Group aims to provide clients in Australia and Internationally with high quality design solutions, customised specifically for each project. The vision focuses on a commitment to environmental responsibility, a passion for golf that is enjoyable to play, and to creating golf courses that are primarily designed for the ‘educated everyday golfer’ rather than the scratch marker.

I was at Tasmania golf club yesterday to see the new combined 4th and 9th tees, with all the paths between them gone. So much better! 2nd photo is new bunkering on the short par 4 4th (the old 15th). 3rd photo is the tee shot on 4 with the massive pine and blackwoods on the left removed. 4th and 5th photos are the new bunkering on 17, last photo is the par 3 2nd. Beautiful sunny day and there’s lots happening at TGC. Much more to come soon too.

I was back at Yowani last week. Grow in continues after a long hot and dry summer. Recent rain has nearly filled the lakes again. Pictured are the tee shot on the 120m par 3 12th, closer view of 12 green, approach shot to the bunkerless 13th, 7th and 13th greens with a pond between them, and the final approach to the par 5 11th. Full course opening some time in April.

I was back at Yowani before Christmas and sent up my drone to check out the grow-in. First photo (left to right) greens 11, 12 and 6. Second, the very short par 3 12th played out to the peninsula green. Then 7 left and 13 right, both long par 4’s. Then the new short par 4 18th in front of the new clubhouse still under construction, 10th hole on the left. The full 18 holes should be open around March.
