I've found this book to be a great source of information when looking for golf courses to try out... Everything you need to know is presented along with a star rating that I've found to be quite accurate in most (but not all) cases. It's even just fun to browse through and dream about playing courses that are too expensive or too far away! In any case, I've been introduced to some great courses through this book that I wouldn't have discovered otherwise...

The 3rd edition contains reviews on 5,000 public and resort courses in North America. I keep this book in the car when travelling. I had the previous 2nd edition which was good. This edition is great. Golf Digest's course rating system is very accurate. Comments from local golfers are included which helps in making informed decisions about courses. Every travelling golfer should have this book!

Before traveling to Florida last summer, I purchased five books on Florida golf. Because of time constraints and a somewhat inflexible schedule, I wanted to make the best choices possible in each area I visited. This book was not only the best written and most informative of the books I purchased, it was also the most accurate. The others seemed biased or misinformed. After playing a round or two, I gave the other books away. I hope this reference is updated every year!

This book is my first reference when planning golf vacations. The information helps me determine the best time to go, which courses to play in the time available and has helped me discover some hidden gems. It is a wonderful source of information, succinctly written and quite accurate in its assessments. If you are a traveling golfer, you need this book.

Golf Digest's Places to Play(3rd Edition) is a must for the traveling golfer. The course descriptions are very accurate. Every hardcore golfer should own this book.
