This lavishly illustrated coffee-table book presents the cream of South Africa's greens and fairways. Here you will find a diverse array of golf courses, from Gauteng's venerable Blair Atholl and Royal Johannesburg to Arabella and Erinvale in the winelands of the Western Cape and from Beachwood and Zimbali in KwaZulu-Natal to the bushveld splendour of Leopard Creek on the edge of the Kruger National Park, which comes with unique water hazards in the form of hippos and crocodiles. Information about each course focuses on what makes them exciting to play, big tournaments that have been hosted there, and what else there is to see and experience nearby. Special features of this title include a list of best golf holes in South Africa, a section on the most influential golf course architects in the country, and notes about the challenges of photographing golf courses.
