Golf California Survival Guide (Paperback)

by Shaw Kobre (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This is a directory book that is designed to give quick, pertinent and accurate information on every golf course in the Golden State (plus Las Vegas and Reno).

We have divided the state into 11 distinct destinations and regions. We also realize that not all golf courses are created equal. So we have provided the golfing public with helpful lists, ratings, and opinions on some of the California's most popular facilities. The book also provides a directory of golf related services such as junior golf organizations, golf travel agents, golf schools and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Golf Information, October 28, 2001

By A Customer

This book has easy to read and contains up-to-date information and course reviews from golf courses in California, Las Vegas and Reno. I especially like Bob Fagan's Book of Lists--although I don't necessarily agree with some of his picks. I also found the "opinion" portion of the course reviews not only entertaining but informative, too. The size of the book is perfect for traveling; and it fits in my golf bag.
