One of the leading architects throughout the Golden Age of golf course construction in America, George C. Thomas, Jr. was responsible for the design of some of the most preeminent golf courses in southern California including links at Ojai, La Cumbre, Bel Air, and Riveria, among many others. Written shortly after the completion of the Riviera course in Los Angeles which was ranked 31st in Golf Digest's 2010 "100 Greatest Golf Courses in America", Golf Architecture in America is as much a fundamental text for the beginning golfer as it is for the seasoned expert.
