 Ireland's Golf Courses July 20, 2008
Great book. Lists All of the courses in Ireland, great ones, average ones and not so great ones. My wife and I had a wonderful golf vacation in Ireland using this book, a Irish Tourist Board B&B directory, and a cell phone. We had no plan and no agenda. The book lists phone numbers so we could just call a couple of days in advance and get tee times.
It's a Book!!! And a Valuable One at That! September 25, 2006
It's hardly fair to downgrade this useful book because the info is also available on the internet. The book is unpretentious, comprehensive, clear and useful. And it's all between two covers that you can carry around and peruse at your leisure, without having an internet connection.
 Overpriced August 30, 2006
I recently planned a golf trip to Ireland using only the Internet. I sought out Vic Robbie's book because at $35, I thought it would be a coffee table book with nice photos. Maybe it could fill in some holes. In actuality, there is little in it that cannot be found on the Web sites of the various Irish golf courses. Many of the photos are poor replications of those found online. It is mainly a lot of numbers and addresses--phone numbers, Web addresses, yardage, greens fees, etc. But again, most of it is available online. I suppose its value is that it contains all the particulars for all of Ireland's golf courses between two covers. But it should have been packaged as a cheap paperback instead of a glossy hardcover. If you really want to learn about the soul of Ireland's courses, read James Finegan's "Emerald Fairways and Foam-Flecked Seas." Finegan's book has no photos, but a Finegan word is worth a thousand pictures.
