Honestly loved this book. I would recommend reading the first book by the author due to this book having some remnants about the first book “The greatest player who never lived”. I made the mistake by not reading the first book. If you are a golf lover this book is right up your alley. The book describes the game of golf in a magical but realistic way at a place that only the greatest who ever lived had laid their eyes on. Truly “The greatest course that never was”. Hats off to you!

Great book for golf enthusiasts!

Really good read for anyone interested in golf. The fiction becomes so real you get lost in the story being told. Part of you forgets that you are in fact reading fiction! Great book!

The suspense and mystery kept me on my toes. Multiple chapters consisted of only talking about them playing golf (I’m not a huge golf fan so I wasn’t very interested, just trying to expand my reading). I 100% recommend to any golf fans.

A sequel to the "The Greatest Player that Never Was", which follows the main character from the last book. He stumbles upon an old caddy with knowledge of a secret golf course Bobby Jones had built. Still very entertaining and fast, but not quite as magical as the previous work - the 'secret history' bit is just a little tougher to buy this time around. If you liked the first book, however, you should enjoy this one.

Didn"t enjoy it as much as the first one, but still a golfers dream.

A fiction book but a lot of true material too. If a Golf History fan you will like this.
