Book Description

November 1, 2008

Fiendishly difficult and spectacularly beautiful, Pete Dye’s golf courses are among the most exciting in the world. In this volume, 130 were selected to honor his 85th birthday—among them such famous marvels as Teeth of the Dog, PGA West, TPC Sawgrass, and Black Wolf Run, but also less well-known courses that will come as a revelation to golfers everywhere.

 

Magnificent course photographs, many made especially for this volume by Ken E. May, Dye’s photographer of choice, enhance a witty and irreverent text by golf writer Joel Zuckerman. Tributes by Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Greg Norman introduce Dye’s work and highlight his achievements and his place in the pantheon of great golf course architects. Anecdotes by golf pros, clients, and associates—often hilarious—help make this a must-read book about one of the most colorful characters in the history of the game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Golf course designed by a genius!, February 18, 2009
This review is from: Pete Dye Golf Courses: Fifty Years of Visionary Design (Hardcover)
For those of us who appreciate the unusual and challenging golf holes you need this book! Pete Dye has the touch for the delicacies of pure golf play, he keeps you honest and each hole offers a new experience. I purchased the book because I have played many of the Pete Dye courses in the desert and live on the Citrus, so this book has special meaning to me. Great read.
