About This Book

The author surveys golf courses across the British Isles in a region-by-region guide that blends detailed descriptions of individual holes, greens, bunkers, and course architecture with practical playing notes and brief local character sketches. Each chapter profiles clusters of courses, compares features and challenges, and highlights memorable hazards or design innovations, while accompanied by illustrative plates and captions. The tone mixes technical observation with anecdotal commentary to inform golfers about strategy, turf and layout, and to capture the variety of links, parkland, and seaside venues.
