In 1971, Apollo 14 astronaut Alan Shepard famously tapped golf balls on the Moon with his 6-iron, giving the sport a fresh image beyond its traditional reputation for being dull and conservative.

With over 35,000 golf courses worldwide and millions of players, only a select few stand out for their beautiful design, challenging layouts, and remarkable locations. This book showcases 83 of these exceptional courses, including:

• Iconic sites in the British Isles where golf originated, such as St Andrews and Castle Stuart in Scotland, Lahinch in Ireland, and Royal St George in England
• Noteworthy courses across Europe, including France, Germany, Spain, Holland, and Norway
• Famous American courses like Brandon Dunes, Pebble Beach, PGA West, and Augusta National
• Top Canadian courses such as Banff Springs and Cabot Cliffs

Each course is presented in a visually stunning double-page spread, with some extending to four pages. You’ll find the history of the course’s design and construction, memorable rounds played there, current playing highlights, a locator map, length and par details, and green fees-because these are courses meant to be played, not just admired.

Filled with breathtaking photography, this book will inspire any golfer to plan their next adventure on the world’s most remarkable fairways.
