A guide to perfect golf vacations, for golfers of all abilities and their families. The book presents the 96 outstanding international resorts awarded gold and silver medals by the editorial board of "GOLF Magazine". Each golf course is carefully detailed, with expert advice on how to play it and inside tips on the most challenging, unusual or scenic holes. The book also includes information for the nongolfer - descriptions of the resorts themselves and their locales, as well as other sports and activities available at each resort, spa facilities and side trips, special attractions, children's programmes and more. Resort restaurants and types of cuisine are noted along with indications of style.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Abrams, a golf-book publisher? You bet. Along with the venerable art house's more predictable offerings on Matisse, Picasso, and other masters have come a spate of beautiful coffee-table tomes devoted to golf and golf courses. The latest, adapted from a feature in Golf magazine, rates and profiles golf resorts around the world, offering reasonably detailed descriptions of the courses as well as overviews of the accommodations, restaurants, and other amenities available to the visitor. The text is organized geographically, beginning with Hawaii and concluding with Australia and Asia. The real treat here, of course, is the photographs by Mike Klemme, which not only showcase the most photogenic holes on the various courses, but also provide aerial views of the resorts and interior shots of the guest rooms. This mouthwatering guide will make ideal browsing for golfers, whether they are planning a trip or just dreaming about one. Bill Ott

The best golf resort book yet. You can spend hours daydreaming with it or use it as the basis for your next golf vacation. The pictures put you right there ready to tee it up (and pay up).
