rett began his career in Australia where he trained as a landscape architect. His early work lay in resort master planning and design. Working in Sydney for the world’s best known landscape architecture firm of Belt-Collins, Brett was responsible for design and planning works at the Hyatt Regency Coolum and Sanctuary Cove Resort. A love of golf, as well as an affinity for the game at various levels, brought Brett to the field of Golf Course Architecture and he joined the firm of Nelson & Haworth as a Golf Course Architect in 1992, based in Singapore, becoming a director in 1997.

Brett has had fifteen years’ experience designing courses throughout Asia, from China to Sabah to Pakistan. He specializes not only in modern designs, such as his masterpiece at Suzhou Sun Island, in China – his knowledge of the history of golf and a special sensitivity to the traditions of golf around the world make him a perfect candidate for classic golf course renovation, such as his current work at the venerable Royal Selangor Golf Club in Kuala Lumpur. In projects around the region, he brings an intensity, as well as a great talent for combining beauty with challenge.

Brett became a full member of the Australian Society of Golf Course Architects in 1999.
