Fifty Places to Golf Before You Die

Guide to the world’s most iconic golf courses

A handsome, in-depth guide to fifty of the world’s greatest golf courses, selected by people deeply connected to the sport. A perfect gift for golfers, including for Father's Day and Mother's Day.

For both passionate golfers and armchair travelers, this gorgeous full-color book presents the world's greatest golf venues, the personal favorites of renowned players, course architects, and other experts in the sport.

From Ballyliffin, Ireland's northernmost course, whose rumpled fairways wander along the North Sea in the shadows of Glashedy Rock, to New Zealand's Cape Kidnappers, perched atop dramatic cliffs some 500 feet above the ocean, the book's beautiful photographs capture the architecture, noteworthy holes, location, and ambiance that make these courses standouts for ardent golfers.

A brief history of each course, an experiential account-filled with local color from the person recommending the venue, and trip-planning advice provide adventurous readers with all the information they need to chip and putt their way around the globe.

Interviews with golfing experts such as Nick Faldo and Christie Kerr (pro golfers), Pete Dye and Tom Doak (course architects), and Brian McCallen (editor and author), as well as beautiful, vibrant photography, bring each location to life.
