Veteran golf architects and historians Geoffrey Cornish and Michael Hurdzan, between them the designers of hundreds of courses and the authors of dozens of books, have produced this bibliography with the backing of all the world's four major groupings of course architects.

Divided into five main sections, the book provides a chronology of golf architecture and examines the literature of course design before going on to list every significant author and work to have treated the subject. This book will be a necessary purchase for the serious student of golf courses and their design.
