A common passion for great golf courses has led the legendary Swiss watchmaker Rolex, golf publisher D'Algue Selection and Icon Books to produce a unique and independent guide that determines and ranks the world's top 1000 golf courses. For the first time ever, courses from every golfing continent have been critically reviewed to select the very best - by recognised experts for golfers. Contact details and national and local maps are provided for each course entry in this full-colour guide. Furthermore, a wealth of descriptive information on all aspects of every course is given, from its architectural brilliance and the particular challenges of how the course is played to seminal moments from its history. "The Rolex World's Top 1000 Golf Courses" is an essential companion that not only recommends the best fairways and golfing experiences, but with listings for more than 6000 local hotels, restaurants and points of interest, it gives the discerning golfer everything they need to know before playing the course. Whether it's planning an international golf trip or simply seeking a great course near home, this is the perfect guide.
