The Art of Golf Design

The Art of Golf Design, by Michael Miller and Geoff Shackelford, is a stunning book. Miller is both a golf professional and landscape artist. Shackelford is both a golf historian and writer. Not surprisingly, both love the classic golf holes of the 1920s and ’30s. And that’s what this book is about.

Many of Miller’s images take the reader back in time, often to when a classic hole at Pine Valley, Cypress Point or Pinehurst No.2 was in its earliest form.

Shackelford, as historian, provides his insight on the architectural thinking that went into the creation of these classic holes.
