Summary: When does volume 2 come out!
Comment: This is one of the quintessential golf atlases. Following on the heels of the wildly successful and equally exquisite "Great golf courses of Canada," the authors have identified and honored many of the most hallowed grounds in America.

Breathtaking photography is coupled with historical accounts and hole-by-hole analyses of close to 40 of the most famous and beautiful golf courses. Major championship venues such as Augusta, Balturol, Merion and Oakmont are represented as well as some of the great resort courses and lesser known private gems such as Prarie Dunes, Seminole, The Honors and Kapalua.

There are a few glitches. For example, Ventana Canyon's chapter features a hole by hole account of the "Mountain Course", but a map of the "Canyon Course." Also, the author need not have restricted himself to a rigid 6-page formula.

Everyone of course will also argue that many greats were left out; perhaps Coeur D'Alene, Sawgrass and Bethpage Black. Nevertheless Volume 2 is hopefully in the works. Maybe the authors might wish also to try "Great golf Courses of Great Britain and Ireland.

Summary: A fantastic compilation of the best golf courses in America.
Comment: This book is filled with wonderful photography and interesting information on most of the great golf courses that the United States has to offer. If you are looking to find some information or take a look at a fabulous public or private golf course that you are not too familiar with, this is the book for you.
