Poppy Hills Golf Course is the first golf course to be built by a regional golf association. This book describes the history of the creation from the association and the golf architects point of view. For the golfer the most interesting aspect though is the detailed description of each hole, with accompanying large photographs. This is a coffee table type book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Motivational!,
By Steven P Hanson (Yucaipa, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Poppy Hills Golf Course (Hardcover)
After playing Poppy Hills in June 2001 I found this book to be both fascinating and exciting. The book brought back both fond memories of great shots and the disapointment of not so great shots. After reviewing the pictures and learning of the history I'm already planning our next trip! I recommend this book to anyone with a smattering of appreciation for a beautiful golf design.

A wonderful book,

This review is from: Poppy Hills Golf Course (Hardcover)
Udo Machat, who previously brought us a terrific book (The GolfCourses of the Monterey Peninsula) about golf on this fabled landscape, has here concentrated on one of the three courses used for the annual AT&T Pro-Am. Poppy Hills is a tough test of golfing skills and Machat amply displays both in story and photographs the subtlety and dimension of this world-class course. While the photos are not of top professional caliber, they nevertheless complement and offer good balance to the text. The excellent forward is by the course's architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr. I recommend this book to anyone interested in golfing literature. It's a good read and looks great on the coffee table.
