A revised and updated edition of Remarkable Golf Courses detailing the extremes of the sport – from the highest golf course in La Paz, Bolivia, to the lowest, in Death Valley, USA; and from the most northerly in the Arctic Circle to the most southerly in Tierra del Fuego.
Featuring new courses: Ardfin, Blue Lakes, Winston Links and more!
The many quirks of the golfing world are covered, 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!
Golf courses that feature neolithic standing stones (Scotland), Roman roads (England), and ruined medieval castles (Wales) take their place alongside the old temples of Delhi or a UNESCO World Heritage bridge that is used to link the 9th and 10th at Angkor Wat.
There are the beloved classic courses of St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Royal St. George and Westward Ho!. There are spectacular golf courses hewn 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. But nothing can beat the thrill in Guatemala of lining up your drive on an active volcano at the Fuego Maya course.
In comparison there are the traditional wind-blown Scottish links, such as the Machrie Hotel on the island of Islay which has the most blind greens on any course, or the remote Isle of Barra where greens are only accessible via a kissing gate.
Fancy swapping countries mid-round? You can at the Llanmymynech club in Wales where at the fourth hole golfers tee off in Wales and putt out on the green in England. Remarkable Golf Courses brings together astonishing stories with extraordinary photography.
