5.0 out of 5 stars "Oregon Golf" - A Gem Of Find, October 9, 1999

By A Customer

For those enamored with books on golf courses (and I am one), "Oregon Golf" is a gem of a find. Author Paul Linnman takes you on a personal tour of the courses in Oregon and thoughtfully conveys the surprising variety that exists in the state. Having personally played most of the best, it was reassuring to see that all the best were covered...there were no omissions. Traveling along with Linnman, you experience through him the feel and highlights of each course along with some fun anecdotes. Equally important is the outstanding photography by Rick Schafer and complimentary layout that brings the text to life. This is a coffee-table book with heart; and the price is right. If you have any interest in Oregon golf or golf architecture in general, "Oregon Golf" is a "must-have" for your library.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice book, February 16, 2006

By	Susan Ross "Oregon bound" (So. California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There are not very many books available about the Oregon Coast, that include Golf course pictures and info. This is a nice one, with many great pictures to show you what the area is like.
