At the end of January the 19th hole: Architecture of the Golf Clubhouse is being released. I posted that link because target is offering the book for 47.25 while some are charging the full 75. In the description of the book it said they go in depth with beautiful photographs and show you the historic clubhouses and lock rooms of the most famous courses. Some of the courses included are Shinnecock, Merion, Winged Foot, Augusta, etc. They also cover some new courses that have built gorgeous clubhouses. I am excited for this book because many of these clubhouses I will not step foot in although I hope to! Clubhouses can tell such amazing stories. It is also 300 pages long.

Does this interest anyone else?

I always like the historic old clubhouses (especially those in UK that are sometimes centuries old). The newer ones, even those that are gorgeous, just do not interest me as much. I'm much more into golf course architecture.

Thanks for the information. I do have a number of books on golf architecture in my collection, and I am interested. Some of the best are the ones by Alistair MacKenzie, Pete Dye, Charles Blair McDonald, and Robert Trent Jones. Of course, Arnie, Jack, and Gary have written many articles and given interviews about their concepts for designing courses, and they differ a great deal on their ideas and preferences. This was especially apparent when Arnie and Jack did the King and the Bear courses. Jack is a hands-on perfectionist, while Arnie is more concerned with the overall plan and playability for players with various skill levels.
