Summary: This book is my vacation Bible.
Review: This book is my first reference when planning golf vacations. The information helps me determine the best time to go, which courses to play in the time available and has helped me discover some hidden gems. It is a wonderful source of information, succinctly written and quite accurate in its assessments. If you are a traveling golfer, you need this book.

Summary: Almost perfect
Review: This is a truly excellent guide. I would recommend this to any golfer wanting to try new tracks. Having taken up golf again six months ago and having just moved to Oklahoma from Mass. I needed a solid review book to begin exploring my local environs. This book has come up trumps again and again - providing an accurate overview of courses in my area, throughout the rest of the state, and all over the country. I wouldn't agree with every course review but that is part of the fun, and course conditions and upkeep can change in a short period so it would be churlish to nit-pick. Thanks to this sterling guide (my only complaint - some of the distances form major cities are off) I've played some great courses I would never have come across. Indispensable and superior, by a long, long way, to anything else out there. Bravo Golf Digest!
