Golf Courses of the U.S. Open
This large coffee-table format book describes the 47 courses that have hosted the USGA’s premier event, from Atlanta CC to Worcester CC.
The beautiful pictures, most of which are in color, show well the host courses for harshest test of tournament golf since its beginnings over 100 years ago.
Each course is devoted about 3 to 4 pages apiece, so it’s a quick read, but visually impressive.
The text describes some of the more memorable events from the Opens that occurred on each course.
Since some of these courses no longer exist, the author also details what happened to them.
