Scott McLean

Scott travelled the world and worked on the European Tour for over 10 years, which has exposed him to a working environment where the only acceptable standard is excellence. Preparing golf courses for, and working in direct contact with, the best players in the world has certainly focused his pursuit of perfection.

His career began at West Kilbride Golf Club where he learned the Greenkeeping ‘trade’, then moving to Wentworth near London to further his experience and career. He then took a position at Jack Nicklaus’s Polaris World project in Southern Spain, where he was part of the construction team that brought the project to life! He took on the responsibility of managing the golf course in terms of both building a team and preparing the golf course to the highest standards expected. At both Wentworth and Polaris World he learned the value of teamwork,strong communication and people skills, which added to the fundamental value of hard work, extremely high standards and a soundness of judgement which makes him a natural leader.

After 3 years in Spain, he developed a desire to prepare Championship golf courses for the best golfers in the world, to create a fitting stage for players like Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Henrik Stenson and Sergio Garcia to showcase their incredible talent. His time on Tour (over 100 events) has made him an incredibly versatile Greenkeeper and ensured his standards remain second to none.

He joined Golf Saudi in February 2020 as Director of Agronomy.
