The Society of Australian Golf Course Architects (SAGCA) was formed in 1989 by a group of Australian golf course architects with the like minded purpose of forming a society of fellow professionals, with the intent to meet regularly to exchange ideas and experiences, encourage the highest standard of golf course design and construction, and further advancing the status of their golf course architecture.
Duly formed, constituted and recognised by Golf Australia (formerly Australian Golf Union) and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the Society of Australian Golf Course Architects flourishes today headquartered at Golf Australia, Melbourne.
Meetings take place on a regular basis at selected golfing venues around Australia. High on every agenda are the topics of Sound Environmental Design, Safety in Design, and advancement of Modern Technology and impact on old and new golf courses.
