A Journey Worth Taking May 6, 2009
Peter Crane (Bremerton, WA USA)
If anyone is planning a golf trip outside the US, this book is a must read reference. If you are not planning such a trip, get the book, you'll change your mind. David Scaletti's photographs are the best I've ever seen. They are lush and well constructed. Darius Oliver gives an honest and fortright assessment of each of the courses. The price is less than any green fee and you can revisit these courses whenever you want.
Most Gorgeous Golf Book Ever! February 24, 2009

 Well researched October 8, 2008
Dr. C. S. Vasta (Australia)
I enjoyed the overview and the fine illustrations of the golf courses.
It tantalises one to the point that you would like to go and play them.
This is a fabulous book. June 2, 2008

David Scaletti's photography is superb, as is the book's production quality.
The narrative by Darius Oliver is wonderfully frank, well-argued and original. I also enjoyed his clear and joyous descriptions of each of his favorite courses throughout the world.
The focus of the book is on the courses outside America, because so much excellent material already exists on the Top U.S. Courses.
The book covers the Best Courses in the UK and Ireland, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, Canada, Mexico and Central America, Asia and Africa.
It may not be possible to visit all these Masterpieces of World Golf but this book is the next best thing.

The Planet is indeed well served by this magnificently produced volume worth buying for the photography alone.
