Customer Reviews

Good idea but...
This is an excellent idea for a book but I felt that some of the photographs - for what is after all a coffee table book despite the format - were not as good as they could have been (eg: Turnberry). The principle however is good - l page photo then a little bit of general background without too much irrelevant blurb. The largest emphasis is, of course, on USA courses but at least he does give the rest of the world a fair crack, and whilst there is an emphasis on the 'usual suspects' some lesser known courses are spotlighted - Notts County in England and Furnas Golf Course in the Azores are good examples.
