5.0 out of 5 stars
A genuine pleasure,
By readinck "the people's reader" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creating Classics: The Golf Courses of Harry Colt (Hardcover)
I received this book as a birthday present earlier this month - it's a thoroughly impressive volume. Being what is politely described as a 'keen amateur golfer' I knew of Harry Colt and Co already of course. This has been put together with real love and care though and was a thoroughly fascinating read. There's some excellent history here, some lovely descriptions of the courses (some of which have been added to my Top 10 I'd Love to Play) and a real appreciation throughout the book both for the reader and of course for the exemplarary work of Mr Colt himself.Add into that the sumptuous photographs - and some very thoughtful design work - and this really is a rich, elegant book. Heartily recommended to all golfers - or anyone looking to buy a golfer a Christmas present.
5.0 out of 5 stars

If you love Golf and interested in the how some of the best courses were designed and created, then you're in for a treat. The photographs are stunning and really bring this book alive. The authors (Peter Pugh & Henry Lord)have done an excellent job in the research and the presentation of detail relating to the work of Golf course designer Harry Colt. He(Colt)has created some of the finest courses, most of which still exist for us to enjoy. Creating Classics simply oozes tradition - it's a gem.

this book seems to be a light and rushed effort,

This review is from: Creating Classics: The Golf Courses of Harry Colt (Hardcover)
and disappoints because it adds very little to what is already published on Colt and his partners. Unlike the other recent bios on Ross, Mackenzie and Macdonald which have a lot of depth.I got the impression that the authors are unfamiliar with the majority of courses reviewed and didn't do the necessary leg work. There are some curious choices of courses to review: Hankley Common included with only 3 Colt holes? Ditto for Royal Worlington, Formby, Ganton, Alwoodley.. all not really Colt courses. On the flip side, many excellent purely Colt courses have been inexplicably left out. There's also only one course in the USA: Pine Valley. None from Canada? Virtually nothing on Alison in Japan. There are quite a lot of mistakes too in the stated facts, labeling of photos etc On the plus side, many of the modern photos are great and the big find are the original Colt sketches of Edgbaston GC which are very nice.
