Pat Ward-Thomas, Herbert Warren Wind, Charles Price, and Peter Thomson guide the reader across continents and centuries, presenting each legendary course — from Augusta National to St Andrews — with detailed analysis of its architecture, strategy, and unique character, while Alistair Cooke's foreword lends a literary gravitas that sets the tone for the entire work.\n\nFar more than a mere geographical survey, this landmark volume argues that golf courses are living works of art, shaped by both human ingenuity and natural terrain, and illustrates how the design philosophy of each hole reflects the broader culture of the game in its respective era. Rich with stunning illustrated course maps and incisive commentary, it remains an essential reference for golfers, historians, and armchair travellers alike — a book that makes you feel the wind off the fairway before you've even laced your shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572451905755,"sku":"2026100008690-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c2226fc3-0101-426d-99f9-c7fe49f8f125.png?v=1791166561","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008690-secondhand-the-world-atlas-of-golf-the-great-courses-and-how-they-are-played","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
