Customer Reviews

loaded with great information!

I've lived in this area for over twenty years, and this guide provided information that I was unaware of, for my own town. It'll be invaluable as I travel to other cities this year.

If you travel a lot, and you love golf, this book is an ace

What a great idea for a book! Why didn't somebody think of this sooner? I can't tell you how many times I've skipped an opportunity to play on the road simply because I didn't know anything about the courses in that area. Never again. The next time I'm hacking up a course during some spare time on a business trip, I'm going to blame the guys who wrote this book.

Excellent research, informative, a must for all golfers!

At one time or another, any avid golfer is traveling...but wants to still be able to get in that golf game. What a great way to guide golfers to the courses on their route! One can tell that much research went into this book to offer the golfer all the information needed to handily find a course when they are traveling. Well written, very organized, helpful, insightful...no golfer could ask for more when it comes to locating a course while they are on the go!

To a golfer on the go, as vital as a reliable putter!

This is more than just a listing of great golf courses, although it is jammed with great places to play. The book offers a travel-guide approach to golf. It is written for the business traveler on the road with a half-day to kill, or for those unlucky enough to visit non-golfing in-laws. It's for the best man at a wedding with free time before the rehearsal dinner. Or for any golfer who finds him or herself in a strange city looking for a nearby place to tee it up. If you're on the road and want to golf, Business Traveler's Guide to Golf takes the worry out of logistics. Time spent wasted wondering and questioning is a thing of the past. It offers quick access to fine public courses in major metropolitan areas from coast to coast. Quickly and simply, the out-of-town golfer can answer these vital questions: * Which courses in this town are worth playing? * Where is this course relative to the airport or downtown? * How do I get there? * Can I rent clubs, is there a driving range, restaurant, locker room? * How much does it cost to play? Business Traveler's Guide to Golf includes extensive information on airports, taxi, limo and bus services, and also offers detailed maps with pin-pointed locations of courses in each of the 38 metropolitan areas covered. There are more than 1,000 courses listed, and more than 80 courses featured with breathtaking photos, stories, scorecard information, etc. Every course in the book is open to the public. This book is designed in a reader-friendly manner with information that can get you from the airport terminal to the first tee by saying one word, `Taxi.' There are plenty of golf guides on the market, but this one is unique in that it deals with the details of getting to and from the course with no worries. And, you don't have to be rich to enjoy the courses in Business Traveler's Guide to Golf, although there are many pricey courses included. Included among the courses listed are regular stops for the PGA Tour, outstanding neighborhood courses, as well as executive courses that allow a golfer to quickly complete a round. Prices range from $10 to upwards of $200, so there is a quality place to play in each city with a price tag to your liking. This book should be in every golfer's bag and every traveler's suitcase.

Excellent

Perfect fit for your briefcase, your luggage or your golf bag. When I'm on business trips, I'm hurried to get from one meeting to my next. But when my business meetings are over, this book points me in the direction of the nearest golf course or driving range. It even gives me prices, time from the airport or downtown and whether the course supplies rental clubs. It's going to be in my travel bag everytime I leave town.
