Rather than focusing only on the well-trodden Scottish and Irish routes, this guide shines a light on England and Wales, where heathland courses dance with seaside links and coastal winds shape every round.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames W. Finegan offers a country-wide survey that blends the prestige of well-known venues with the joys of hidden gems. Expect coverage of Open Championship venues such as Royal Birkdale, Royal Lytham \u0026amp; St. Annes, and Royal St. George's, alongside enduring favorites like Sunningdale, Wentworth, and The Belfry. The book does not stop there; it confidently flags lesser-known treasures like The Addington in suburban London, or Southport \u0026amp; Ainsdale just a short drive from Royal Birkdale. These pages celebrate more than two thousand courses across England and Wales—an inviting reminder of the breadth that awaits the traveling golfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to course descriptions, the guide maps towns, inns, and eateries that become part of the journey. You’ll read playful nods to lunch after a round in Sandwich, or a warming cup at Gog Magog. The author even tackles the quirks of place names, helping readers feel confident when planning their itinerary. If you’re curious about the classics, you’ll find thoughtful entries for Rye, Wentworth, Hoylake, and the royals, while also discovering gems such as St Enodoc, Silloth-on-Solway, Southerndown, and Pennard, each presented with practical notes to help you plan a visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinegan’s previous works, including Emerald Fairways and Foam-Flecked Seas, have earned a devoted following among traveling golfers. All Courses Great and Small builds on that reputation with a charming, accessible voice that guides you across the landscape, helping you imagine your own pilgrimage without prescribing a single path. It’s a resource that enriches your shelf and your trips, inviting you to picture the textures of turf, the rhythms of town centers, and the satisfaction of plotting a multi-stop adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey takeaways for planning your journey\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalance of famous and hidden courses to suit different interests and budgets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical travel cues, including towns, inns, and eateries to complement a round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessible writing that helps you imagine your itinerary while staying flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRealistic possibilities you’ll encounter\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe chance to order an open-air round at storied venues and cozy village courses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpotting regional flavors in town dining and local pubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfidence in mapping a golf circuit that spans heathland to coast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What does All Courses Great and Small cover?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: A country-wide tour of England and Wales golf, featuring famous venues, hidden gems, and practical travel notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Who is the book best suited for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Golf enthusiasts planning a British Isles trip, looking for varied courses and actionable planning tips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53080892178543,"sku":"1416567976","price":29.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/7354\/2767\/files\/simon-and-schuster-all-courses-great-and-small-cover.jpg?v=1778573081","url":"https:\/\/golfavero.com\/products\/all-courses-great-and-small-a-golfers-pilgrimage-to-england-and-wales-simon-schuster","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
