Keith Cutten

Keith Cutten is an expert in golf course architecture and construction, having participated in several of Canada’s high-profile, contemporary golf course projects. These include Cabot Links, Cabot Cliffs, and Sagebrush Golf Club. Compiling a comprehensive in-field and off-field skillset, enables Keith to undertake any project from start to finish. He is also a passionate student of golf history.

It was from the seat of a bulldozer and an excavator, where Keith learned the craft of golf course design and feature-shaping. This took place, under the watchful eye of Rod Whitman: his mentor and fellow Canadian golf course architect.

In the company of Rod, Keith completed the renovation of the historic Canadian Algonquin Golf Course in St Andrews-by-the-Sea, New Brunswick. Keith also serves on the Board of Directors for the Stanley Thompson Society.

Further to his experience in the design and construction of golf courses, which extends beyond a decade, Keith has also achieved academic success. He gained an undergraduate degree in Planning and Environmental Design from the University of Waterloo, which led to a stamp as a Professional Planner. Additionally, Keith holds a masters degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Guelph, situated in Ontario, Canada. More specifically, Keith’s masters thesis research explored the voluminous history of golf course architecture; which greatly assisted when laying the foundations for his first book - The Evolution of Golf Course Design.

Keith lives in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada with his wife and children.
