5 out of 5 stars Planet Golf   January 23, 2008
The Planet is indeed well served by this magnificently produced volume worth buying for the photography alone.


5 out of 5 stars Excellence on two fronts   November 2, 2007
 7 out of 8 found this review helpful

This book has not only some of the most inviting golf course photography ever - by world-class Australian Photographer David Scaletti, but a collection of very well-researched, concise and precise reviews by Darius Oliver, one of Australia and the world's most able golf architecture writers. A must have book for all golfers that will even start the architectural education of the uninformed. This book is not only incomparable but affordable.
