The United States Golf Association is extremely picky about the courses it chooses to host its national championship. They must provide a hard, but fair, test that rewards overall golfing excellence. Their historical traditions are rich, and their designs stunning. John Steinbreeder provides a photo-laced, anecdotally fertile guide to each of the nearly 50 layouts--from Pebble Beach to Baltusrol--that have caused more than a few competitors to break a brassie or two in sheer frustration since the first Open teed off in Newport, Rhode Island, more than 100 years ago.
Product Description
An updated edition of a book published by Taylor in 1997, this book will not only feature all of the U.S. Open golf courses through 2008, but also include more up-to-date photography of some of the classic courses of past tournaments.

This book is a must for golf historians. It's a great reference and easy reading for just the average golfer. The chronological format is terrific as we all follow golf based upon our own age and era of interest.Its size and quality make it a great gift for any golfing household.
 The writing is okay, but the photos lack sufficient captions January 8, 1999

GOLF COURSES OF THE U.S. OPEN is a good book there is just not enough in it about the courses themselves. The book is focused on more of what happend during the tournaments at a certain venue. The captions are well written but hardly ever is the hole mentioned. You turn the page wondering what hole you have just gazed upon. The chapters are not long enough and lack detail. The book could be 50 pages longer. GRAND SLAM GOLF is a much better opption.
A very special book on some very special courses October 24, 1997
