Search - List of Books by Tom Doak

Tom Doak is a golf course architect. He currently has 4 courses ranked among the top 100 in the world according to Golf Magazine's "Top 100 Courses in the World" list, including Pacific Dunes in Oregon, Ballyneal in Colorado [1], Barnbougle Dunes in Tasmania and Cape Kidnappers in New Zealand. Doak currently resides in Michigan.

He was a student of golf course designer Pete Dye, although perhaps his greatest influence comes from Alister MacKenzie (whom Doak wrote a book about), designer of Cypress Point, Royal Melbourne, and consultant to Bobby Jones at Augusta National. In 2007, Doak restored Alister MacKenzie's home course, Pasatiempo, a Golf Magazine Top 100 course located in Santa Cruz, California.

Early on in his career, before his recent acknowledgments, he was known for his sharp criticisms of other golf course designers in the book The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses (now out of print).
