Paul Mogford

Paul Mogford graduated from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 1994 with a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture. His final thesis explored the environmental design of golf courses, with a particular focus on the now common-place integration of constructed wetlands within new golf course developments.

In 1994 Paul was commissioned by the Society of Australian Golf Course Architects to research both the detrimental and positive environmental issues associated with golf courses. Paul authored the Society's publication 'Golf Courses: Benefits to Community & Environment' and holds the role of Environmental Research Officer.

Paul is a qualified landscape architect and golf course architect and is a full member of the Society of Australian Golf Course Architects. He has been co-editor with Neil Crafter, since 1997, of the Society's annual journal 'Golf Architecture. In 2000 Paul was the recipient of the inaugural 'Rainbird Grand Tour Scholarship', one of two young architects selected worldwide.

Along with partner Neil Crafter, Paul Mogford formed the company Golf Strategies and has been involved in a number of new course projects in Asia as well as redesigns at places like the Glenelg Golf Club, Barwon Heads, and Ratho in Tasmania. In 2015 the company was appointed as consulting architects at The Metropolitan Golf Club.
