The Art of Golf Design, by Michael Miller and Geoff Shackelford, is a stunning book. Miller is both a golf professional and landscape artist. Shackelford is both a golf historian and writer. Not surprisingly, both love the classic golf holes of the 1920s and ’30s. And that’s what this book is about. Many of Miller’s images take the reader back in time, often to when a classic hole at Pine Valley, Cypress Point or Pinehurst No.2 was in its earliest form. Shackelford, as historian, provides his insight on the architectural thinking that went into the creation of these classic holes.

Golf is a game that turns even the weekend player into an armchair architect, an enthusiast for the possibilities of golf-course design. In this fourth volume of collected essays, leading golf architects from fifteen countries present their ideas, providing a much-needed international assessment of the principles and practices of golf architecture.Near the end of the nineteenth century, golf courses moved toward the hearthland, creating the need for thorough reconfiguration of the natural landscape in the clearing of trees and the cultivation of grass to create interesting holes. With the completion of the National Golf Links of America in 1911, the art of golf-course design was born.The essays and photographs included here represent the tremendous variety of approaches to design principles, from affordability and locality to considerations of the effect of time on the initial design and for specific aspects of the game. The contributors to the book constitute an international "who's who" in the world of golf architecture, with essays from the major golf-course-design firms around the world, award-winning golf architects, and renowned golfers.

Golfers dream of playing the legendary courses of the game: St. Andrews, Augusta National, Pinehurst, Pebble Beach. And anyone who has played the royal and ancient sport is an armchair architect at heart. From alterations for their home course to visions of their very own backyard dream course, most golfers would love to test their hands at course design. What makes certain courses timeless? Unlike the venues of other popular recreational sports like tennis and racquetball, whose playing fields are bound by strict measurements that do not vary, each golf course is unique. Offering an endless topographical variety, from short to long, flat or hilly, wet or dry, every course represents a compelling blend of risks versus rewards, with decisions and challenges to test every golfer's game and mental toughness. Combining Geoff Shackelford's informative narrative with detailed illustrations by architect Gil Hanse, Grounds for Golf explains the fundamentals of golf course design in an understandable and entertaining style. Modern photographs, anecdotal sidebars, and witty quotations augment a course design primer that will enhance readers' enjoyment of golf's lore while introducing the fundamentals of course design. By explaining the golf course from the ground up, Grounds for Golf will not only help readers in their understanding of the game, but will help their games themselves.
