The only book that shows from day one on how a golf course was built. From the day he first set foot on the property, Tom Doak knew that the second course at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort was the project he had spent twenty years training for.
In The Making of Pacific Dunes, Doak shares his experience in building the course from that first day, explaining how he found each hole and put the routing together, and what his crew did and didn’t do to build this ‘distractingly beautiful and unfailingly challenging golf course’.
Doak’s own journal entries, sketches of greens, and memos from his client, Mike Keiser (2025 USGA Bob Jones Award Recipient), are combined with stunning photography [before and after] to supplement his recollections of how the course was built.
This book is a must-have cornerstone for your library.
