Klappentext
A celebration of more than 100 golf courses across the globe from one of the world's preeminent golf photographers
From oceanside vistas to rolling Irish hills, oases in the desert to alpine elevations, The Golf Course captures some of the world's most significant, stunning, and unusual courses across the globe, in breathtaking photographs and captivating stories of how these masterpieces came to be and what makes playing them so special.
Featured here is an eclectic collection of more than 100 of photographer Evan Schiller's most loved courses-a healthy mix of public and private, parklands and links, historic courses and hidden gems. There's Haig Point on Daufuskie Island, South Carolina, accessible only by private ferry. Bandon Dunes, which play like a true Scottish links, picked up and moved to the desolate coast of southwestern Oregon. Puntacana Resort & Club, on the eastern-most tip of the Dominican Republic, known for its miles of white sand beaches-and forty-five holes of exceptional golf. There are iconic courses like Pebble Beach and Royal County Down, photographed like you've never seen them before, and sneak peeks at ultra-private clubs so exclusive that few golfers will ever be lucky enough to set foot on their greens.
Each is punctuated with behind-the-stories of Evan playing and photographing the courses alongside some of the great architects, developers, and agronomists of this generation: A cup of very precisely made Irish coffee followed by an early morning helicopter ride with John O'Connor, co-owner of Old Head in County Cork. Finding architect Gil Hanse behind the controls of a bulldozer on the 15th hole at Quaker Ridge the day he uncovered and returned a deception bunker to its original A. W. Tillinghast design. A lively round of golf with architect Tom Doak on his ingenious reversible layout, The Loop.
It all adds up to a far-flung journey and insider look at some of the most spectacular golf destinations in the world. Whether they're reminiscing over a well-played round or curating an entirely new bucket list, readers are sure to see their favorite game in a whole new light.
