 365 days, but not all 365 photos are worthy January 6, 2009
The majority of the photos in this book are fantastic, but some of them are a bit drab, be it because of the locations or the colors of some of the courses. But overall, this is a fantastic book - it's sturdy, presented well, and full of lots of great photos. It's a shame all of them weren't consistently gorgeous - a few of the photos seem a bit amateurish and the locations aren't all as spectacular as I'd have expected.
 Golf Courses of the World: 365 Days November 26, 2008
This book was purchased as a gift for an avid golfer. Not being a golfer myself, I can only speak to the photos. They are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING, and I wouldn't hesitate to show it off on a coffee table. A beautiful purchase.
Great Calendar Golf Book January 18, 2008
My fiance and I bought this book to serve as a guest book at our wedding, since we love golf we thought it would be a cool place to look back at our guests notes, while enjoying the pictures. I didn't even realize when we bought it that it serves as a calendar too, which makes the book even more fun. Now, I am going to have my guests sign in under their birthdays, so I have a catalog of all their b-days. The pictures are of good quality and I like the fluffy descriptions of the courses. We are going to try to play as many of the courses as possible!
A Gift March 24, 2007
I got this for a golf fanatic friend of ours and he loves it. Small size but lots of pages of wonderful golf courses. A great gift for any golf nut.

I bought this gift for my father-in-law for Christmas. It is an absolutely beautiful book and looks a lot more expensive that what I paid for it. It is well worth the price.
