Description: Remarkable Golf Courses encompasses the extremes of the sport from the highest golf course in La Paz Bolivia to the lowest in Death Valley US a; from the most northerly in the Arctic Circle to the most southerly in Tierra del Fuego. The many quirks of the golfing world are covered such as the 18th green the other side of the River Lea which is serviced by an electric ferry or the L a golf course that has its own funicular railway or the floating golf hole in Idaho where it's not just the pin position that's changed every day it's the distance from the shore! Golf courses that feature neolithic standing stones (Scotland) Roman roads (England) and ruined medieval castles (Wales) take their place alongside the old temples of Delhi or a Unesco World Heritage bridge that is used to link the 9th and 10th at Angkor Wat. There are the beloved classic courses of St. Andrews Carnoustie Royal St. George and Westward Ho! . There are spectacular golf courses hewn out of the Nevada and Arizona desert green oases in a cactus - strewn rocky landscape along with Hawaiian courses fringed by barren black lava flows. But nothing can beat the thrill in Guatemala of lining up your drive on an active volcano at the Fuego Maya course. In comparison there are the traditional wind - blown Scottish links such as the Machrie Hotel on the island of Islay which has the most blind greens on any course or the remote Isle of Barra where greens are only accessible via a kissing gate. Fancy swapping countries mid - round? You can at the Llanmymynech club in Wales. At the fourth hole golfers tee off in Wales and putt out on the green in England. Remarkable Golf Courses brings together some astonishing stories with some extraordinary photography.
