An essential guide for the golfer who likes to travel and experience the great courses of the world. The storied links of golf's birthplace--the British Isles--are covered thoroughly, as are the more recently built favorites in the U.S. and even courses as far off the usual cart path as the Bali Handara Country Club. The courses are organized by country and region, and course descriptions include such stats as designer, par, greens fees, rules, and season; historical facts; and accounts of particularly distinctive holes. Also included are travel directions and information about local services such as lodging, restaurants, and non-golf activities.
