Overview
Every golf course around the world has one thing in common they are all unique. Golf provides a different experience wherever you go. No two courses are ever the same and each has their own captivating story to tell. Blessed with a rich and varied landscape, England has a prolific collection of coastal links and inland courses created by some of golf's most cherished craftsmen; Sunningdale (Park Jr. & Holt), Walton Heath (Fowler), St Enodoc (Braid), Alwoodley and Moortown (MacKenzie) to name just a few. This guide offers a golfer everything they would require to enjoy a great round of golf at the best courses England has to offer. All the information you need is right here - par scores, yardage, green-fee price indicators, booking procedure, history of each club and how best to play the course. England is where golf's greatest artists have gifted us moments to treasure for eternity. A young Ballesteros lifting the claret jug at Royal Lytham & St Annes, Bobby Jones storming to victory at Hoylake on his way to the grand slam, and who can ever forget Nicklaus and Jacklin bringing their titanic Ryder Cup battle to a close with a famous handshake at Royal Birkdale. Sharing a border with its spiritual home, England is undoubtedly golf's exquisite front garden. AUTHOR: Michael Whitehead is the author of the inaugural book in this series, 'The Golf Lover's Guide To Scotland', described as ""immaculately designed and crammed with beautiful photography... as essential as rain gear and extra golf balls when packing for your next trip to Scotland."" 64 colour illustrations

Author Information
Like most modest handicappers, golf and I have shared an unrequited love affair since I was a young man. I love playing it, watching it and writing about it. As a freelance writer since 2012, I have contributed a number of articles for both national and regional publications covering a range of topics - technology, travel, sport, business/economics and social media.
