5.0 out of 5 stars A definitive work
Congratulations to Vic Robbie on his revised edition of Scotland's Golf Courses. The first book was good but this is even better with more information and write-ups on courses, including all the new ones that have sprung up in recent years.

2.0 out of 5 stars Scotland's Golf Guide
Just ok. This book was last printed in the late 1990s, so much of the greens fee information is out of date. The book seems to lack a real world narrative that might be helpful to the newbie looking for helpful anecdotal information. My two biggest selling points for the book were 1) that it came in hard cover and 2) it had a nice cover photo. Outside of that it moved...

5.0 out of 5 stars A must if you are playing golf in Scotland, March 31, 2002
This review is from: Scotland's Golf Courses: The Complete Guide (Hardcover)
A great book. I wanted to explore Scotland and its golf and Scotland's Golf Courses: The Complete Guide was the perfect guide to the country and the game. Not only did it tell me all about the famous courses but also the hidden gems which I will go back and play again. It had so much information in it that all I had to do was turn up and play.
