"The Golf Strategies company history can be traced back to the early 1960s when my father Brian Crafter, then a golf pro, began designing and reconstructing courses in Australia. Over the years the firm has grown and we have been active in the export market since 1993, designing a number of courses in Malaysia and China, with others in the planning stage in Malaysia, China, Vietnam and India - as well as within Australia. At the beginning of the year 2000 we had more than 40 projects either completed or underway - and these are tailored to the needs of the client."
