There are over 500,000 golf holes in the world. So how did the editors of Golf Magazine - and their panel of experts - come up with the top 500. The winners include holes at such revered courses as Pebble Beach and St Andrew's, as well as lesser known spots like Royal Antwerp in Belgium and Yarra Yarra in Australia. In case you favourite golfer doesn't have time to try out the full list, the editors narrowed it down to the top 100, and finally, unbelievably, the best 18 holes worldwide. In addition there are the "best of the best": the most scenic, the most heroic, the best in Europe, the best of the architect Robert Trent Jones, and so on. What better gift could there be? With nearly 800 colour photographs of the holes - the top 18 even have full schematics - and commentary from the experts this is the golf book for golf lovers.
