Anyone who has watched the Ryder Cup will want to take on the challenge of the risk-reward 10th at the Belfry. Anyone seeking the most natural golf course in the world will be delighted by the rolling hills of Royal Ashdown Forest, where you'll share the fairways with townsfolk walking their dogs, and you won't find a grain of sand to trouble you.

These and more than 100 other worthies are waiting for you, with James Finegan as your guide to the famous courses and the lesser-known gems across the countryside.

Finegan takes us on a circular tour of the English and Welsh landscape, finding the golfing pleasures to be found at every turn. He gives pointers on how to book your tee times and describes some of the lodging he's sampled and the non-golfing attractions that are not to be missed however fanatical your focus on the game may be.

Finegan's books are the only travel guide you'll ever need for the golf trip of a lifetime.
