Thomas McBroom, (born September 17, 1952) is an award-winning Canadian golf course architect. His work, while heavily centred in Canada, has grown to include golf courses in Europe and The Caribbean. He is the principal and founder of Thomas McBroom Associates Ltd., a Toronto-based landscape architecture firm specializing in golf course design. McBroom holds a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (BLA) from the University of Guelph. He is a member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects.
Over the course of his career, six of his designs have been named by Golf Digest as Best New Canadian Course; The Links at Crowbush Cove in 1994, The Lake Joseph Club near Port Carling, ON in 1997, Bell Bay GC on Cape Breton Island, NS in 1998 and Timberwolf GC in Sudbury, ON in 2000, The Ridge at Manitou in 2005, and Tobiano in 2008. Twelve of his courses were ranked among the Top-100 courses in Canada by SCORE Golf magazine with the Links at Crowbush Cove on Prince Edward Island, and Beacon Hall in Aurora, ON in the Top-10. Only one other golf course architect has more courses in Canada’s Top-100 – that being the legendary Stanley Thompson with 14.
His clients include hotel and resort operators, real estate developers, government tourism agencies, private equity groups and wealthy individuals. As of early 2007, he had completed over 40 original course designs and led numerous course renovations of varying scale. He is currently working on projects in Western Canada, Ontario, The Maritimes, Scandinavia and Southern Europe.
