Just fabulous! Encapsulating the diversity of golf; from the highest golf course in La Paz, Bolivia, to the lowest, in Death Valley, USA; from the most northerly in the Arctic Circle to the most southerly in Tierra del Fuego.

Some of the most fascinating holes and facts are presented, such as the 18th green the other side of the River Lea which is serviced by an electric ferry, or the LA golf course that has its own funicular railway, or the floating golf hole in Idaho, where it’s not just the pin position that’s changed every day, it’s the distance from the shore!

There are the beloved classic courses of St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Royal St. George and Westward Ho!. Plus, spectacular golf courses carved out of the Nevada and Arizona desert, green oases in a cactus-strewn, rocky landscape, along with Hawaiian courses fringed by barren black lava flows. 

Fancy swapping countries mid-round? You can at the Llanmymynech club in Wales. At the fourth hole golfers tee off in Wales and putt out on the green in England. Remarkable Golf Courses brings together some astonishing stories with some extraordinary photography.

Golf nuts will fawn over this book, but it’s fascination runs deeper. Left on a coffee table we bet anyone who sees it will pick it up and start reading. One of those rare books that capture the imagination of everyone, golf fan or not.
