Customer Reviews

Beautiful tour of the greatest courses!

This book has it all. It's like traveling around the world and stopping to play at the greatest courses-and only on beautiful, sunny days! What's more is that your tour guide (the author) knows every interesting and entertaining anecdote about each place and everyone who has played there. If you like this book, take a look at Golf Digest's 50th anniversary book, "Golf Digest: Golf's Greatest Players, Courses and Voices." More great photos and the best golf writing ever!

A lifers review

This is not so much my review as it is my 92 year old grandfather's. He's been golfing for over 50 years and still says it's the greatest game ever played. This book reminded him of places he had been and events he had witnessed. I could tell by his reaction that this is as fine a tribute to the game of golf as you will find anywhere. There could be no tougher critic. Highly recommended.
