Harley Kruse
Profile
With the 2009 departure of Bob Harrison, Harley Kruse took over the role of head designer with the Australian office of Greg Norman Golf Course Design. Kruse was the principal designer on projects like the Norman Course at Mission Hills in China, Jade Palace in South Korea and Settler's Run in Australia. He was also involved in the creation of the Dunes Course at the Danang Golf Club in Vietnam. When Norman closed down his Australian operations in mid-2010 Kruse left the company. He had previously worked for Thomson, Wolveridge & Perrett.
Toward the end of 2010 Kruse formed a partnership with his former boss at Greg Norman GCD, Bob Harrison. Together the new Harrison + Kruse Golf Design business aimed to service the Asia Pacific region, by offering clients the experience and skills of Norman's former design team, without the signature fee. Owing partly to the downturn in China and the lack of opportunities for the new business, Bob Harrison and Harley Kruse parted ways in 2016. Kruse now operates under his own design banner.
