Love this book and the story! Went to Sand Valley, WI in May, great fun, going to Bandon Dunes in March 2024 with my son and brothers.
Easy to read!

Captivating stories about playable golf shrines

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2022

In an entrancing way, the reader is taken through the challenges of a career pivot from a successful business to passion project… that turns into a successful business in golf.

I was just as interested in the twists and turns of putting the projects together as the difficulty of the golf architecture itself.

I remember intimately the rise of overly manufactured golf courses in the 1970s and 1980s as a young guy, and love the direction the “Bandon school” architects have taken.

A great book for anyone interested in golf, golf architecture and the twists and turns of turning an idea into a success.

Even a book for PR purposes can be worthy & useful

A couple of years ago I read the book Dream Golf (by Stephen Goodwin). I could not imagine that he and Mike Keiser can tell me so many new things about Bandon Dunes and other Mike Keiser golf course development projects.

Kudos to the authors! Thank you, Mike Keiser, for these out-of-this-world golf courses.

This is a good example of even a book for PR purposes can be noteworthy and useful.

If you want to read the story of golf's greatest developer, here it is. Learn how the Bandon phenomenon came to be, and learn what motivates Mr Keiser. Lots of great nuggets and insight from Doak, Coore, Crenshaw, Mackay Kidd and others. I promise you will enjoy this book!

The inside scoop from the founder/owner of Bandon Dunes, the best public access golf in the world, humbly located on the Oregon coast. Greatness doesn't just happen by accident.

Inspired to try to go to Bandon Dunes

Remote southern Oregon seems like a dream place to play links golf, and it's inspiring to read about the man (and family) who created Bandon Dunes and many other intriguing courses

Insights from premiere golf resort developer of our time.

Some aspects of this book are redundant to other related works, but it's expanded beyond Bandon Dunes to cover subsequent Keiser projects.
