Presents a diverse array of golf courses of South Africa, from Gauteng's venerable Blair Atholl and Royal Johannesburg to Arabella and Erinvale in the winelands of the Western Cape and from Beachwood and Zimbali in KwaZulu-Natal to the bushveld splendour of Leopard Creek on the edge of the Kruger National Park.
This lavishly illustrated coffee-table book presents the cream of South Africa's greens and fairways. Here you will find a diverse array of golf courses, from Gauteng's venerable Blair Atholl and Royal Johannesburg to Arabella and Erinvale in the winelands of the Western Cape and from Beachwood and Zimbali in KwaZulu-Natal to the bushveld splendour of Leopard Creek on the edge of the Kruger National Park, which comes with unique water hazards in the form of hippos and crocodiles. Information about each course focuses on what makes them exciting to play, big tournaments that have been hosted there, and what else there is to see and experience nearby. Special features of this title include a list of best golf holes in South Africa, a section on the most influential golf course architects in the country, and notes about the challenges of photographing golf courses.

After stints as a mechanical engineer and game ranger, photographer Jamie Thom decided to turn his focus to his great passion for golf. He is a regular contributor to Golf Digest and Compleat Golfer magazines and manages the marketing for Matkovich & Hayes Golf Estate Solutions. He has won several awards for his photography, including the coveted BBC/British Gas Wildlife Photographer of the Year award. His images have been published in magazines, calendars and books worldwide. Stuart McLean has been the editor of Golf Digest South Africa since 1997. McLean is also the author of South African Golf Courses: A Portrait of the Best, published by Random House Struik in 1993.
