Product Description
Literally hundreds of classic courses from golf’s pre-World War II Golden Age have vanished over the years, including nearly 200 designed by legendary architects like Donald Ross, A.W. Tillinghast and Dr. Alister MacKenzie. In this sister volume to his award-winning book, The Missing Links, historian Daniel Wexler profiles more than 70 of the ver y best courses and holes in America, bringing them back to life with detailed histories, color maps and period photographs. Within Lost Links, the reader can walk William Flynn’s sand-strewn North course at Boca Raton, skirt towering Pacific cliffs at Billy Bell’s mysterious Royal Palms, retrace Seth Raynor’s footsteps at the Greenbrier and revisit George Thomas’s legendary lost holes at La Cumbre.

 An excellent follow-up to "Missing Links" April 3, 2007
"Lost Links" is an excellent follow-up to "Missing Links". This book is laid out in a similar format as "Missing Links" but this book covers more courses with less descriptions per each course (in general). I found the descriptions of Augusta National's original design and the description of Royal Palms worth the price of this book by themselves.
If you don't have either book, I suggest starting with "Missing Links", which I found slightly more interesting, and then moving on to this one. If you have read "Missing Links" and enjoyed it, I highly recommend purchasing "Lost Links".
 Incredible November 16, 2004
Golf Architecture at it's best!!! This book truly reveals some of the lost links of the golden age of golf. Such links as Baldwin Hills Golf Club, California Country Club, and the Glen Oaks Country Club. This book will give you insight into some of the great classic courses.
Informative written tours of grand play areas October 19, 2003
Written by former golf professional and historian Daniel Wexler, Lost Links: Forgotten Treasures Of Golfs Golden Age offers golfing enthusiasts and sports historians a profile of great golf courses from the years prior to the advent of World War II, -- all of which have since vanished with the relentless changes of time and circumstance. Black-and-white photographs, color diagrams, and informative written tours of grand play areas fill the pages of this golfing memorial and tribute to classic golf courses. Also very highly recommended for nostalgic golf buffs is the impressive companion volume of golfing history by Daniel Wexler, The Missing Links: America's Greatest Lost Golf Courses & Holes (Sleeping Bear Press, 1886947600, $35.00).
