Thomas Dunn (29 December 1849[1] – May 1902[2]) was a golfer, golf club maker and prolific architect of many golf courses in the early 20th century. Less celebrated than his contemporary, Old Tom Morris, Dunn created many functional layouts and helped lead the development of courses away from the coast into inland heathland locations, notably many around London.[3] In total, Dunn had four top-10 finishes in the Open Championship.
