Dean Dewhirst
Dean Dewhirst is the Founder & CEO of GolfSpace – Australia’s most advanced indoor golf club and a brand redefining what it means to belong to a modern golf community. Guided by a lifelong passion for golf, design, and human performance, Dean’s vision is simple and bold: to build clubs that transcend the game – places where people improve, connect, and feel part of something bigger.
Blending thirty years of golf with a career deeply rooted in architecture, design, and experience-building, Dean brings a designer’s eye to everything GolfSpace creates. That philosophy led to the opening of GolfSpace Alexandria, a club built around precision technology, premium design, and a community-first culture. Its newest addition – The Reserve – now positions GolfSpace as arguably the best indoor golf club in Australia, offering a world-class lounge, TrackMan-powered performance spaces, and an environment where playing, practicing, and connecting feel effortless.
But Alexandria is only the beginning.
Dean is now leading the expansion into two new frontiers:
GolfSpace Black – a super-premium, invitation-only club for founders, executives, and leaders who want the very best; and
GolfSpace Academy – a global digital learning platform born from GolfSpace’s partnership with Top Education, designed to bring elite coaching, data-driven learning, and AI-powered improvement to golfers worldwide.
At the centre of everything is Dean’s belief that golf is more than a sport -
it’s a lifelong journey, a lifestyle, and a community.
GolfSpace exists to honour that journey by creating beautifully designed spaces where people can train with purpose, play with energy, entertain with ease, and feel part of a thriving club culture.
