Reference Golf Travel Guide Outdoor Activities Sports Travel Leisure & Recreation
The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses: The Americas – Winter Volume 2 is the hard-to-find 2015 sequel that serious golfers guard on their shelves. Written by renowned course architect Tom Doak and globe-trotting critic Darius Oliver, this 500-page hardcover with dust jacket delivers brutally honest, hole-by-hole scouting reports on the best winter-season layouts from the southern United States down through Central and South America. Instead of sugar-coated marketing copy, you get the same no-nonsense opinions the authors share when they swap notes in the bar—so you know which courses are worth the green-fee splurge and which ones to skip in favor of the next town over.
Collectors prize this volume because it was printed in a small run that sold out quickly; clean copies now trade hands for well above the original cover price. The book’s ISBN 9780990708612 is the fastest way to verify you’re getting the genuine second installment, not the earlier general guide. Inside you’ll find detailed maps, strategic tips for every handicap level, and the “Confidential” star ratings that have become the underground yardstick for course quality in the golf-travel community. Whether you’re planning a bucket-list buddies trip to Cabo, a winter escape to Costa Rica, or just want to armchair-visit the best courses in Argentina, this reference turns vague wish lists into concrete tee times.
This particular copy is ready for immediate enjoyment: the interior pages are crisp, unmarked, and free of dog ears, while the dust jacket remains bright and unfaded. Only minor cosmetic flaws—light shelf rub on the lower inner edge of the boards and gentle thumbing to the front endpaper—keep it from being graded as like-new. Coming from a smoke-free home, it offers an affordable entry point into a series that rarely surfaces in such tidy condition. Grab it now and you’ll have the insider intelligence needed to plot your next fairway adventure before everyone else discovers it’s back in stock.
