01 INTRODUCTION
In 2005, Tom and Martin stepped out of the shadows and established Mackenzie & Ebert, uncertain of how they
would fare on their own. Not in their wildest dreams would they have predicted that, in the next 20 years, they
would be working across the globe on so many amazing projects. It has certainly been hard work, but great fun
at the same time. Thanks go to all of the people with whom we have worked in that period for their support.
It has been hard to believe that this anniversary year has been marked with involvement at two truly world
famous courses: firstly in being charged with carrying out adjustments to the Old Course at St Andrews in
preparation for the Open Championship in 2027, working with the St Andrews Links Trust and The R&A; the
second in being selected to advise The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers on fine-tuning Muirfield for
member play. It is an honour and privilege to be entrusted to advise these great links which are being treated
with the utmost respect, with design proposals backed up by diligent research.
Looking back to their formative years, both Tom and Martin were fascinated by the World Atlas of Golf. Perhaps
it was the imagination of the great courses contained that fired their architectural ambitions. The company now
finds itself, advising 18 of the clubs in that wonderful book - in fact, 33 of the World Top 100 Outside of the US,
as ranked by Golf Digest, and 18 of the Top 100 in the World as ranked by Golf.com.

INTRODUCTION

New South Wales, Australia - 5th Hole
One such course in the World Atlas Of Golf is at New South Wales Golf Club in Australia.
The 1st March 2025 was a remarkable day for the Club when its course re-opened for
play, having completed a full course reconstruction. Even more extraordinary was that
it was only six months earlier that the work started. For a course already established in
the Top 100 in the World, it was a bold move, but the Club is striving to reach the highest
level in world golf and saw this as an essential part of that quest. In all, 21 greens were
reconstructed in 3 ½ months, using 3 Australian shapers, guided by accurate plans and
close supervision. Every green was approved personally at the base stage and before
grassing. This project showed that architects do not need to sit on bulldozers to produce
world class results.
The construction of the new course at Moncayo Golf and Ocean Club in Puerto Rico
nears completion. Opening is scheduled for early in 2027. Its breathtaking coastal setting
and dramatic landform will give the course a wonderful Caribbean character. 2025 has
seen the involvement in the project of the prestigious Discovery Land Company.

The team has grown over the 20 years of the company’s life. While we are
still a relatively small enterprise, our success is due to the hard work and
talents of everyone at Mackenzie & Ebert. This has driven us to utilise
every technology that might benefit our raw design skills and maximise
construction efficiency. We are confident that this assists us in producing
great designs rather than restricting our ideas and design concepts. There
is nothing wrong with doing your thinking before you start a project.

Our priority is always to do what
we believe is best for a course and
those who play it. In doing this, it
is encouraging when that work is
recognised in the different rankings
produced by golf magazines and
websites. It is also a privilege when
we are appointed to advise courses
which appear in these rankings.
Some highlights in 2025 are that we
are currently advisers to 18 of the
Top 100 in the Golf.com 2025/26
World Ranking. We are also
advisors to 33 of the World Top 100

Once again this year, the
company has been entrusted
to advise many of the great
courses across the British Isles
and Europe as well as some
further afield.
Working sensitively on courses
where the great old architects
plied their trade has been
instrumental to the company’s
success over the years and has
provided a great opportunity
to learn from their incredible
design skills. Thoroughly
researching the evolution of
these great courses before any
recommendations are made
is fundamental to our design
process.

GENERAL TOPICS &
DISCUSSION POINTS
11
It is a common misconception that there is a “Mackenzie & Ebert
Bunker Style”. That is not the case and, as well as designing different
styles to suit different terrains and soil types, we are also using different
edge techniques and lining products and methods.
With edging and faces, we have used revetment of differing heights,
artificial revetment, turf and heather cubes, rolled edges of turf and
wooden sleepers. With liners, we have used two types of bound stone
liners, three different rubber crumb products, two geotextile products
and one artificial turf liner as well as upturned turf and turf sprayed
off. We tailor the bunker style to the client, their budget, the climate,
the soils and the grass type. A single approach cannot work with so
many variables.

02 DESIGNING IN THE 21ST CENTURY
GENERAL TOPICS &
DISCUSSION POINTS
Moncayo - Drone Surveying
The last few Annual Reviews have emphasised the enormous value of producing
detailed plans in 3 dimension and doing the thinking before a start on site. That,
in itself, is a skill and takes years to learn. The recent advances in technology have
magnified the advantages of this approach. Detailed plans allow us to produce
computer generated stills and videos to allow the design team and clients to see
what the proposals will look like, allowing adjustments to be made during the
design process. Work can then start on site with confidence that the proposals
can be built to plan, with only minor adjustment required. However, huge value
is also placed on site visits to assess the implementation of the designs.
This year has seen more contractors investing in advanced GPS technology in
the cabs of the excavators. This tells the shapers exactly where their bucket is in
relation to the design. It is a remarkable advance that increases efficiency, but
only if the drawings are accurate and are actually what the designer wants. We
are living through a technological revolution and our intention is to embrace it to
improve how we work.
New South Wales has clearly shown how efficient this approach is, with all
eighteen greens rebuilt and grassed within three and a half months. Detailed
plans were used to produce the CGI videos of the holes, which were presented
to the members. The shaper, working on the sand areas, used the still from the
CGI as inspiration for some of his exceptional sculpting work of these areas as
the stills show. Architects do not need to sit on bulldozers to produce world class
results.

Royal Portrush - 7th Hole
Our Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) is helping
numerous projects gain approval from memberships
and owners and assisting in the planning permission
process. The images are also proving invaluable in
helping clients, committees and construction teams
understand our designs and they provide great
marketing material before the course or course
changes are built.
They are also an extremely helpful design tool,
allowing us to assess our plans before construction.
Having this capacity in house means we can be
in total control of the output and the associated
costs.In many ways, we are now building holes and
courses twice - once in a 3D digital form and then
in reality.
The next step we are looking to take is to connect
our 3D models of holes to the latest golf simulator
technology, so that clients and golfing customers
can play the holes before they are even built.

Tom and Martin returned to
review the revamped New
South Wales in November, eight
months after its six month
express make-over. With every
green and bunker re-designed
and re-built, it was pleasing to
see how everything had matured
so impressively. The goals of
the re-design were to create
more variety, in line with other
great seaside courses across the
world, to make the course feel
sandier and more coastal and to
make it fairer without losing its
renowned challenge.

Here are some of the highlights from the year of construction with work underway from Britain and
Ireland to Australia, South America, The Caribbean and Canada. The tried and tested approach of
designing greens in 3D, producing computer generated imagery to bring the designs to life and following
those plans using GPS technology, allows this work to be done incredibly accurately. The thinking is done
before work starts and the final finessing is done on the ground. Clients can programme and budget much
more accurately and the results are without compromise.

PLANNING &
CLUB SUPPORT
When people ask how many projects we are working on, it is always hard to answer because many projects
progress quite slowly and some are very small while others involve a lot more input. Some are delayed
during the permitting process, which seems to be becoming ever more challenging all across the World.
Clubs continue to commission course masterplans to help them plan future investment and that can take
a few years to start flowing.
We also maintain links with many clubs, providing advice on safety issues and other projects.

NEW COMMISSIONS
& RECONNECTIONS
Among the new commissions in 2025, it was exciting to be appointed to advise The
Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers on fine-tuning Muirfield for member play.
Feasibility work on a project in Vietnam was carried out and other exciting new
appointments were commissioned in Scotland, Sweden and Argentina.
Having produced masterplans at many clubs, it is especially rewarding to be asked to review
and update those plans to help them to continue to improve. Such input is being made at
the likes of Hirono in Japan, Hamilton in Canada, Royal Dornoch on their Championship
Course and at Nairn, which entered the Golf Digest Top 100 Courses in 2024 for the 1st
time. Another re-connection was with The Abaco Club in The Bahamas where a review
was undertaken and a new 7th hole and associated works then built.

The Ancient Links Golf
Company was established early
in 2025 with a clear purpose:
to protect and elevate golf ’s
most historic Scottish links by
ensuring they remain relevant,
playable, and sustainable for
future generations. Through
a carefully curated portfolio
of Scotland’s most significant
and historic golf courses, The
Ancient Links act as long-term
custodians, preserving heritage
while supporting modern
standards of presentation,
performance, and participation.
Their ambition is to ensure these
courses are not only preserved,
but actively played, deeply
valued, and experienced by
golfers from around the world.
The Ancient Links first
acquisition is Scotscraig Golf
Club - Just 20 minutes from
St Andrews. Founded in 1817
by members of The Society
of St Andrews Golfers, the
group that would become The
Royal & Ancient Golf Club of
St Andrews, Scotscraig stands
among golf ’s original Scottish
clubs and remains deeply
connected to the birthplace of
the sport.

It has been a huge privilege to work on so many of the venues which host The Open Championship. It is
a common misconception that Mackenzie & Ebert are The R&A’s architectural advisor. That is not the
case. While the company has to work closely with their championship department for all of the venues
for The Open and also the AIG Women’s Open, the individual clubs have to be satisfied that they are
receiving the high quality, independent advice that they need.
These great courses that host the best golfing event in the world have to test the world’s best players
but, for 99% of the time, they have to be enjoyable courses for ordinary members and club golfers to
play. Finding the right balance is the key.

In November 2025, The St

R&A announced the addition or
reconfiguration of tees for seven
holes, the movement of two
bunkers on the 2nd, the addition
of bunkers on the 6th and 10th
and the restoration of the left
side of the fairway on the 16th
hole which had been allowed to
grow up as rough over the years,
along with a pair of new bunkers
to add jeopardy for those playing
away to the left of the Principal’s
Nose and Deacon Sime bunkers.
These measures will strengthen
the course for the 2027 Open
Championship. It is also hoped
that the new tees will help the
pace of play, taking some greens
that were previously driveable,
out of range.
